My life in Japan
Yeah, I'm going to get 4 hours of sleep. Up at 5am, leave by 6. Get to newark, board, spend 13.75 hours on a boeing 777 and then I'll be in Tokyo.
I think it's safe to say I'm freaking out. My life is upside down again. Packed away in about 140lbs of luggage. My Fiancee and two of her friends will pick me up at the airport. I'll be landing at 1:55 in Tokyo.
I have an interview on the 24th in Tokyo. I'm looking for work in Sendai. Christ. I'm going to land, go home on Sunday evening, stay there for two days, then go back to Tokyo for the interview. Overwhelmed much?
Since I moved back to the US from Finland, where I lived on exchange for a year, I wanted to do something like that again. This is the shot. Only, I have to get a job within 90 days or I'll have to go back home... after 90 days. My best shot will be teaching English or becoming an assistant English teacher. I know 0 Japanese so that wont help. I'm not sure if I'll even like teaching, but, it'll be a job.
My Fiancee has been telling me about her days at work. Christ... she works hard. I dont think I'll be nearly as good at teaching as her. Which... worries me.
I have a feeling that my Grandpa wont be around when I get back. I've not lost a family member since I was about four... when I lost my other Grandpa. I dont know how that'll be. There are times where you just want to be in the comforts of your own country speaking your mother tongue. But, it could be worse. At least my Fiancee will be there.
Speaking of which, that's another worry. This will be the first time her and I are living together. Before this, it's all been long distance. I'd visit her for a week or two and vise versa. When I first met her, I stayed with her for three weeks. We have never had a problem. I'm not sure though. I guess I dont want to have any problems in the future. If we have problems, this will be the time. At the same time, if we have problems it'll be a major problem for the future of our relationship. Now that I think about this, I guess I'm worried about moving forward. I think I'm more worried about this than when I proposed :P At least I had a pretty good idea of what she was going to say.
On the up side, I think I'm going to enjoy Japanese food. I <3 sushi and other foods. Staying in Toronto for a few weeks at a time spoiled me. There was a Sushi place at the end of my Fiancee's old apartment... man... I could have gone there at 10am and ate until they closed
Also, if you got your last issue of Honda Tuning, they thoughtfully gave me tips about going to JDM shops around Japan I'll be reading that on the plane. Should take up 1 of 13.75 hours... man, that's going to be rough.
No real point to this message... I think I'm just venting a bit.
