I’ve gotta say that I’ve been procrastinating way too much and haven’t done that much packing for my trip to Japan.  I’ve spent the last couple of days visiting friends and saying my goodbyes before having to leave for 3 months for my study-abroad program.

To give you and idea of where I’m at, I leave tomorrow and I’ve only packed a small duffel bag and haven’t even cleaned my room yet!  I’ll probably spend most of tonight (I’m super busy all day until tonight) packing up the rest of things I will need.  I guess if I were to look at this on the bright side, staying up late tonight might help me because I’ll be so tired tomorrow that I’ll just sleep through the whole plane ride.  Also, even if I were to forget to pack something, I can easily get whatever I need in Japan considering it’s my “home” away from home.

I know I’ve said this many times but I’m very excited about this trip to Japan.  The food is delicious, many places to see, and best of all, I’ll have a great training environment.  I’ll be posting a lot while I’m out there so please keep checking back!

Also, great job to all the guys that competed at Worlds.  I wish I could’ve been there competing with the rest but my priority now is to get my leg better.  Good news is everything is coming along!
