“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

Suddenly....

...it's all becoming very real. I went into the BOE today and my supervisor just started bombarding me with questions.

'When are you moving to Tokyo?'

'When are you planning on leaving your apartment?'

'How are you planning on making your final utility payments?'

'Are you going to close your Saga account and open a postal account or wait until you get to Tokyo and open an account there?'

'Where are you going to be living in Tokyo?'

'Have you found a new job yet?'

'Do you know when the new ALT is coming?'

It was awful. My answers to all these questions were either 'No', 'I don't know' or 'I haven't decided yet'.

It's crazy though because it does put into perspective the amount of stuff that has to be done before I go. Such a pain in the arse.

The other thing is, is that it's too early to be thinking about closing accounts and finalizing payments. I'll deal with all that crap in July. I need to concentrate on finding a house and a job first.

I hate moving house back home. But it's nothing compared with moving house over here. And trying to do it in Japanese.

*sigh*
