Well, this is the last entry I will be writing before I leave. I'm travelling down late thursday night to stay overnight with friends in London, and I board the plane to Copenhagen at 6:50am. Following a six hour stay in Copenhagen I will be flying to Tokyo Narita airport. Altogether I will be in the air for around thirteen hours. Needless to say I am not looking forward to the travel, especially considering the current restrictions on hang luggage. I'll be arriving in Tokyo at around 3am local time, if my maths doesn't fail me, so I also get the extra special bonus gift for travelling – horrendous jetlag. For some reason, as soon as I step foot in an Airport I become incredibly uncoordinated and worried. Not great when you're flying into one of the busiest airports in the world. Ulp.
I've been saying farewell to all my friends. Although plenty of them will be on my mailing list, I'm aware that they will probably make new friends at university and all but forget about our school community. I still find it hard to believe that they're all a year ahead of me education wise.
Packing has been pretty awful, too. Our weight limit for baggage isn't too strict, but with only two days to go I am still remembering things that seem vital (alarm clock, razor) that I would have forgotten otherwise. This in turn makes me panic that I've forgotten something essential like my passport or tickets or something. I'm fully aware that sod's law dictates that I'll arrive then realise I've forgotten something essential – I'm just hoping it's something I can get hold of abroad.
I'd like to take this opportunity to say farewell to all my friends and aquintences, be they online or real life friends. It's going to be really hard not seeing any of you all year, and please do feel free to bombard me with emails detailing how university is going or whatever. I've been collecting emails to add to my email so I can send everyone updates. Comment on this entry if you think I'm likely to forget you. Aside from that, there's really only one thing left to say;
Sayonara!

I just know you’re going to have a stupidly good time over there – I’m sure you’ll be regarded as the Japanese as some sort of towering demigod!
All the best for your EPIC journey [you do stop off in Beijing and transfer from plane to Dragon, right?], and I ask that you add me to your japanese mailings, so I can go ‘zomg nudgers miles away, but its like he’s in the room next to me telling me how awesome he is!’.
Farewell Nudge and Good Luck. :-)

Of course. I’m compiling the big mailing list this evening so I’ll send out confirmation mails when I do. No changeover in Beijing sadly, it’s London to Copenhagen straight to Tokyo Narita. Maybe next time!
Enjoy yourself over there! I’ll be reading this every now and then, so you better post something once in a while. Have a good flight, man. :)
see ya nevvy. dinner was cool. catch u on msn. x
Sweek: Yeah, I plan to update as regularly as I can. Expect a huge rant about my hatred for airports!
Vipa: Thanks. I’ll be on MSN when I get over there a little, and I’ll be emailing people left right and centre so it’s like I’m hardly gone!
Four hours, 45 minutes to go!
Oi, make sure to add me to the mailing list and have a bloody good time!
