my journey to settle certain matters is nearly at an end. all that's left is to ship my "room" more or less, have a fancy suit dinner with best hit generation, and decide what to wear on the plane ride home (i was thinking something along the lines of the white shirt and black trouser combo that chiaki wore, especially considering that minus the blazer and tie, it will be what i wore the night previous).

according to mother, a package in my name has arrived. this is good news, since it heralds the arrival of some new bible study material. also, another package was shipped on friday, so i will be expecting it sometime this week as well. god bless yesasia.

what has been occupying my time here when i wasn't packing or preparing my move? honestly - all you can eat buffets involving crab legs, caesar salads, beef ribs, and ice cream; perusing the internet; and gambling (penny slots). unforgivable. i should have been running, but i guess we'll have time for that upon my return.

recently, i dreamt of tanaka reina and george harrison. not in the same dream. the one with reina was beautiful in a k-drama sense. the one with george was sad and beautiful - i was attending a concert given by all his friends (eric clapton, other remaining beatles, etc) before he died. i cried in my dream and i almost awoke with tears in my eyes - mostly because there was an inexplicable, immobilizing pain in my left ankle.

it's not finished yet. although some bullets have been fired, there are still many rounds to unload. i am three years away from one shot in particular, but that's just the beginning. what will give me the strength to persevere? it's the hope that the future holds so much more for me yet.
