At Logan

So I'm sitting at the gate in Logan airport, bored out of my mind, not wanting to listen to my iPod this early, so I decided to turn on my laptop and waste that battery to type here, ,,, I don't think I've ever seen Logan is empty before, its weird but nice. Its going to be a long day.

One More Day

This will be my last post until thursday or friday, by then I'll be in Japan. As I'm sitting in my living room typing this I don't think it's really hit me yet that I'm leaving. I just hope I'm not forgetting anything or jumping in over my head. just my inner pessimist sneaking out.
Wish me luck!

Last day at work

Yesterday was my last day at the day care center. It went better than I thought, I didn't cry (that much). The next few days will be hard, but I can't wait

I just realized something

I was just looking over the blog and I realized something, there is no pictures. I think I'll get around to it soon (no promises)

Getting close

I put up a sign yesterday telling the parents that I was leaving and today a few parents came up to me. It went well, they all were happy for me and wished me well.

I think its really hitting me that I'm leaving soon, and I don't know how I really feel about it, but thats okay.

I don't think I'm rude

Okay, this is just me venting,
after calling and leaving messages for 2 weeks, I finally got fed up with the SSC licence office. I left a message saying that I'm tried of calling up all the time, but i will continue to call until someone gets back to me, I need some information please. I don't think thats rude but a few hours later i finally get a call back. She tells me that what i said was highly unprofessional and uncalled for. She also said that she was just now doing the licences for the Summer 06 people and that the office is a busy place and my phone message was in a pile of things to get to. After being talked down to, I finally got to tell her what I wanted to say from the beginning, that I need to get my licence done before I go to Japan. So she said her side would be done by Friday but the DOE may take a few weeks. (arrrrggggggggggggggg, if she got back to me sooner (alkdsjf;laksjde;kjfna;ksjndf;kajshdfk;jhasd)) I hope a letter from her will be enough to get my working visa.

how many days left?

I went to work today, , and the whole day I kept thinking only 4 more days, 4 more days, , , , I just want to get this over with and get over there!!!!

oh, and one more thing, Salem State College SUX!!!!!! I graduated summer 06, I completed everything I needed to, I Should have my teaching license all set, but for some reason, IT'S NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I've called and called and left messages for two weeks now and NOTHING HAS HAPPENED!!!!!! can you tell I'm pissed!?!!?!?

I'm almost done packing

Well, after a week from hockey sticks, I'm almost done packing everything I think I'm going to need. I still have a long shopping list, but i have one bag thats 45lbs and the other is 37lbs, so i can still cram some more in there.

God, I'm going to miss Baseball season and Football season!!!!!

I will miss you papa

My Papa Tony passed away on Monday, , , , the wake is Wednesday and the funeral is Thursday. I don't think I can say anything else, maybe with time.

family party

Today I went to a party at the Auntie Carol's house. My cuz Chuckie is on break from the navy, so they had a big party for him. I didn't want the family to know i was going to Japan until after the party but Uncle billy told big papa and he told everyone for me. I did get to tell aunt mary and uncle dick though. The were so happy for me, which was nice.

As for Papa Tony, he's not good, we guess it's just a waiting game now. It, for lack of a better word, SUX!, but i'm glad this is happening now instead of right before i leave or when i'm in Japan. so for now, pray for him and my family

Papa's in the Hospital

Okay, this was one of my fears about going to Japan, my Papa Tony is in the Hospital. He went in Friday afternoon, and he's better now, its still a bit touch and go, but they think he's out of the woods.

On a much better note, to get our minds off of things my sister and me went shopping. I can't even begin to image how much money i spent today, probably over $250. I knew I left money in my checking account for a reason. and i still didn't get everything on my list

I hate parents

I told a parent today that i was leaving and well, she basically said that she hated that i was going, , , i still have to write up a letter to the parents saying i'm leaving, thats going to be better than telling each of the 18 parents separately .

on a better note, my sister, the best sister in the world, bought me season 1 of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, , , i love my sis!

i dunno

so i put in my two week notice, it went better than i thought. my boss was sad to see me go but knew it was a great experience for me, or so everyone says,

I dunno, i haven't been able to sleep the last two days, different things keep running through my head, its probably just my pessimistic nature. well, i still need to do so much, my "to do" list is getting longer and longer by the day.

Oh and another thing that bothers me is the fact that i'm going to miss so mcuh,,, birthdays, holidays, great movies that will be coming out this year,,,, just keep saying, this is great, this is great,,, :-}

My first post!

Welcome!
For some reason you stumbled on to my blog. I created it to document my trip to Japan. My uncle runs an English Language school in Osaka and he offered me a job for a year. So for the first few posts I will mostly be about preparing for my trip and what I'm going to miss. This is a great experiment for me, the farthest I've ever been from home is 35miles, , Hope I will keep this blog interesting enough to keep you reading. Welcome!
