Upcoming stuff

So Brad Pitt is adopting Angelina Jolie's kids ...? I think it's safe to assume they're actually a couple now, world.

Only 12 days 'til I leave for my big trip! 1 more week at Izumi JHS, then a week of elementary school visits, then that's it for 2005. It's pyscho how quickly the fall has gone. I'm kinda hoping that trend will continue through the rest of the winter since I loathe winter here. I'd like it to be over as quickly as possible.

7 1/2 months left in Japan & I've already got the rest of my time here mapped out...

Dec 16 - Jan 11: Trip to Singapore, Malaysia, & Thailand
Jan 21: See Sumo matches in Tokyo
mid-Feb: JET Returner's Conference in Yokohama
mid-Mar: Trip home to visit the fam
Golden Week (5 day weekend in May): Tokyo with Harry
beginning of July: Mom comes to visit for 2 weeks!
July 27: Contract ends, leave Japan

It's weird thinking about leaving, hmmm, I'd rather not think about it yet...

It's a pretty nice day out despite the chilliness. I think I'll have a jog then run some of my many errands that I need to run before my big trip.
