I'm currently sitting in the airport in Tokyo, and I'm finally really, really excited. (Finally?!) See, these past couple of weeks have been ridiculously stressful with packing and everything that encompasses finishing up an amazing school year. This morning (or maybe it was yesterday morning? I just spent 13 hours on a flight where it was daytime the entire time, so you can decide if it was today or yesterday), I cried when I said bye to my parents. I cried again when I realized that I was travelling totally on my own for the next two days. Whenever somebody asked me if I was excited, I couldn't completely say, "Yes" because I'm totally out of my comfort zone here.
When the plane landed in Tokyo, it marked the exact moment that I became very excited. Yes, it took a long flight of keeping busy, worrying about all of the "what if's", trying to sleep, etc... but when the plane touched down, my immediate first thoughts were something like, "I'm in ASIA! I'm doing something meaningful on this continent this summer! Oh my gosh... I'm in Tokyo!"
Just like that, all of those worries and stresses went away.
As I mentioned, now I'm sitting in the airport in Japan eating sushi. I just wanted to put that in there to maybe make you jealous.
