Travel Days

YAY! AP testing is over. ^-^ That just made my day today. It's been an interesting past week. I went on this "webinar" think AFS was having where people who are going to Japan can ask questions and talk to returnees. It was really neat. ^-^ We started talking about schools, and just as we were talking about this one school, ICI (the International Communications Institute in Tokyo), I got an email saying that that's where I was going to school. It was a cool coincidence... and then this weekend I got my flight info, so I know I'm leaving from the U.S. on June 24 (meaning I'm leaving for L.A. the 22nd, since I have to be there by 2 p.m. on the 23rd) and arriving in Tokyo on the 25th (they do run 13 hours ahead of us, though). Then I'm taking a short flight to Nagoya... which is kinda weird, since Nagoya is 100+ miles from Tokyo.... so if I'm staying there, that's a long commute to school... I'm thinking, since the other AFSer who's going to Japan the same time I am has the same flight schedule, that means that Nagoya is where our orientation is, and then our host families will pick us up from there. But I'm going to have to ask my advisor.

I also got info on how to begin my Japanese lessons (the school wants me to complete Level 1 of the lessons they have online before I leave) so I'm starting that tonight. ^-^ I'm so excited!!

If anyone reading this is a fellow AFSer, feel free to comment and tell me where you're going/have gone! I'd like to talk to other people- I'm trying to find as many as possible!
