I can't believe it. In only three weeks I'll be flying to Tokyo Japan. By myself.
I have known about it since December last year, but somehow thought that it might not happen in the end. I mean, I am not the classic young independent careless high achiever I associate with international study experience. I am rather the struggling student, the mature aged mother of two boys who still hasn't figured it out.
So the flights are booked, the dormitory stay secured and the OS-help loan is in my account. I have been listening to Japanese podcasts (nihongo con teppei) for the last 2 month everyday and feel as ready as can be. All that's left to do is exchange some money, as it is cheaper to get Yen in OZ than the other way around, and pack my bags.
