Actually I'll be on a plane in 4 days. I don't arrive in Japan until November 5th.
Last night I got a card and presents from the office for my trip. I'm happy about the card but I wasn't expecting presents. And there's been quite a few collections already for people who are actually leaving so I feel doubly selfish about it. Still, I guess nobody forces people to give money... Apart from peer pressure.
But that's not what I wanted to talk about!
I'm not really thinking about leaving too much because then I'll just be sad about it but if I just go with the flow one day at a time I know I won't have the capacity to be sad. I really am looking forward to it, but it's difficult to focus on the things I'm looking forward to instead of the things I'll be missing out on. I'm waiting for the 'perspective shift' that happens when you move on and can focus on the things in front of you. This is my own problem; I find it difficult to concentrate on things that aren't in front of me.
In order to leave I've been getting my room / life as clean and uncluttered as possible so I can just slip right back into it.
This is my postcards wall. I’m not sure when I started collecting postcards but it’s a pretty cheap habit.
The theme of this collection is ‘Summer ‘. Pretty original. The top three are things that I did and the bottom four are ‘A Summer of the Past’.
Things like this I've been changing so that when I come back I get depressed because it's like I never left!
I guess I'm updating this blog and not my tumblr one then. Tumblr makes it so easy to post photos that I wondered which one I was going to use.... Honestly this isn't really the place for me to post introspective things like this.
