Ok, been a while yeah? I have been super busy with life... Work, Hanging out, Finishing school shit, more work, hard goodbyes.

So first: Hard Good-byes. The last week and a half has been pretty tough. My friend group lost three members (Rashwan, Matt, Yuko) as they flew to beautiful Japan. Yuko wont be back in the states till who knows when, so there is a good chance Ill see her more often than others. Matt and Rash will be in Japan till the 20th of August. I will get to hang with them in Tokyo for a week before they leave. Nearly a week after they left, Nora flew back home. Both times teary eyed long goodbyes were to be had. We made the most of our time together as a group, the Spokane group will never be the same with three of us leaving permanently.

Nora's last day here went out with a bang. A group of us (Kyle, Nora, Joanna, Connor, I) went to see "The Dark Knight." Always the drunkard and adventurous one, I requested that Joanna bring 20oz bottles of Tequilla and OJ in her purse. She brought two... which actually turned out ok. Joanna, Connor, and Kyle did not drink. Leaving Nora and me to finish both bottles of (40% tequila) Orange Juice. By the halfway point through the movie we were both pretty well buzzed/trashed. I got up and stumbled to the bathroom to take a leak. GOOD TIMES!!!! After the movie we went to Kyle/Nora/Yuko/Matt's place to chill. Kyle went to bed, then Sammy came over. We decided to stay up till Nora needed to go to the airport (4:45am!). We just hung out and talked and stuff. Nora wrote me a nice letter and bought Kyle and me a Unicorn Vs. Narwhal action figure kit. I totally got the Narwhal! After watching Nora get through security, we (+Joanna) all went to breakfast.

Today I got my COE (Certificate of Entry) for Japan. Next stop: Japan's Consulate in Seattle for my visa. It is final, I will be leaving the US on August 13th, 2008! I had a long couple weeks fuckin around with student loan bullshit and getting the right amount of money to cover me, this caused my disbursement to be off schedule... which lead to me not getting into a home-stay in Japan. Instead I will have my own condo in Shinjuku (personally I would have gone more for a place in Jyugaoka or Den en Chofu, but Shinjuku is where the school is gonna put me). So thats kinda cool. I think Robin will get into the same place as me, since we went through similar loan processing hells.

Not much else to talk about. Aaron's wedding is coming fast (Aug 9th), My last day of work is a few days before (Aug 5th). I am packing up my stuff and selling almost everything I own.
Anyone need a laptop computer or a hot hand built desktop?
