TOKYO, HERE I COME!


AHHHHH!! Okay, double post today, but yeah! This news comes sort of late since I knew about it a few weeks ago, but for Christmas, my sister bought me a plane ticket to Tokyo for a week during Spring Break! This is HUGE for me because not only was I embarrassingly Wapanese and a die-hard anime dork when I was younger, but I haven't been out of the United States since I was two years old (when I emigrated from Korea, and that doesn't even count since it was to the U.S, not away from the U.S).

So yeah! Apple is sending her there on a business trip and offered to give her a discount on ticket prices  for me and my mom, so we're going to visit her! She leaves in a week or so, we leave in March/April-ish. Auuughkjlakjjklafjklfakfkjladkjlfa.

I'm just waiting for something bad to happen, because I've never had it this good. I'd never dream that I'd visit Japan so early in my life. I didn't think I'd get out of the U.S to travel for leisure until I "made it" at age 30-something and had enough money to get out. AND to have gotten into my top university? I can't even fathom how it's wound down to this.

I'd like to say it's because I've been the best person I could be, but that's not true. Honestly, there were many moments where I was this ugly ball of brat. But I've always generally had good intentions and worked hard when needed. I think that and of course my connections to a sister equally dedicated to working hard, is what has gotten me here.

What I'm living right now seems like an overly-dramatic-overly-great-life of a diary entry I would have written in 8th grade after crying because of something stupid to make myself feel better. But it's real. And it's just magical.

Of course, like many things, I won't relax and feel it hit me until it actually happens, but nevertheless, the prospect is just ASKLFJSALKFS.
