Hm, it seems it's been about a month since I last updated. Oh dear. I keep intending to, and it keeps... not happening.

Mostly because, if you talk to me right now, you're as likely as not to get panicked stressed out flailing and a stream of nonsensical babble, like "OH MY GOD, HOW WILL I LIVE WITHOUT FRESH FRUIT?!!!!!1111" while you go, quite reasonably, "um... what?"

A lot of stuff has happened since my last update. I went to see a musical (Thoroughly Modern Millie, it was very good), I finally had the prize ceremony for a law course I topped a year ago (fulfilling one of my life goals, and getting a complementary USB drive and possible job offer as a paralegal from Clayton Utz in the process), played all four of the Ace Attorney games (and got sucked into the damn fandom), finally watched S2 of Life on Mars and... a lot of stuff to do with Japan. I visited all my specialists (eyes, teeth, blood sugar and internal organs all good), bought myself $400-500 worth of new clothes with my mother's blessing and promise to pay, got the confirmation of first my entry into the university and then my visa, sorted out my 6 months worth of diabetes supplies, and sent off for my pre-permission certificate to bring my meds into the country, which had BETTER BLOODY ARRIVE IN TIME.

I also booked my plane tickets.

I'm leaving on the 2nd of April.

I am kind of MASSIVELY FREAKED OUT.

Which is why, dear f-list, I am pretty much useless right now. I'm a mess of even-weirder-than-normal sleeping hours and trying to socialise with people before I can't see them for a year and trying to sort out my flight and diabetes and research project and things wot need packing and FRAZZLED NERVES. Oh my god, I don't even know what I'm doing. *headdesk*

Anyway, um, yes. 19 days, counting down? Urk. I don't even know whether or not I have a scholarship. *whimper*

THAT IS SO SOON. I am in Canberra between the 20th and the 30th -- we must do something.

:D! Come to my farewell thing on the 29th? But that's awesome that you'll be Canberra from... what, wednesday?

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Oh yes! Details?

No, Thursday :) Busing down in the evening, once my classes are over.

At this stage I'm checking to see who's available, since what we do depends on numbers, but it's looking like we'll probably go out to La Rustica or something in Kingston and one of the bars around there afterwards. I'm open to suggestions, however!

Oh, cool. I'm glad I'm still here for Easter, I'd have missed it if it'd been much later. :D

Omg you're coming so soon! When you get here, give me a call to let me know you're safe or if you need any help with anything. Also, if you don't get the scholarship because honestly, finding work is easy, especially if you're connected to a university. But yeah, let me know when you arrive so we can hang out dkjghakdjfhg

I KNOW, it's crazy! I'll have to get in contact with you when I get there-- I'll be getting into the airport at like 6.30am 3 April local time, so I'll be in Tokyo by midday, I'd think, but I guess I'll have to get a mobile phone...

That's a relief. Although how heavy will the uni load be, how much work will I have time to do? Mostly I'd just like to know, though, I don't even know if they've decided the scholarships and I just haven't gotten one or WHAT.

Hanging out together in Tokyo, it's going to be FABULOUS. ♥

Oh, you're catching a night flight too?! I caught the same flight and it was hell. Trying to navigate Narita on 2 hours of broken sleep and a giant suitcase is not fun at all. is someone coming to pick you up or do you have to make your own way? 'cause i was picked up but i had to wait like, 138423 hours for all the students who came that day and we all went together, so i ended up getting to my dorm at sunset pretty much >.<

As for phones, I'd recommend a Softbank phone. I got AU and their service is really crap (but cheap as). And Softbank phones are miles better too XD

That's really weird that they haven't told you about the scholarships yet. I wonder what's going on? >.<

OMG yes! And I can take you around and show you cool stuff akjfghkajgdf come on April, where are you?

I know! it was like, two months away... and suddenly it is like, TWO WEEKS. O_O

It's certainly a possibility! There are a number of bunnies, though I never know whether they will be realised or not. At the moment I'm working on an FFIV fic, and I'm hoping to get the next part of boyband!X done before I go to Japan...

(Btw, I haven't TOTALLY given up on the miscellaneous-gift-fics-formerly-known-as-Christmas-presents, although I don't know when any particular outstanding fics will be done-- but I had an idea involving yours earlier today, and I was wondering, if it turned out kind of really depressing, how would you feel about that? I was thinking of setting it post Rainbow Bridge and having Subaru wish to bring Seishirou back, but he'd obviously have to pay a very high price for a wish like that.)

That is so amazing! I'm so proud of you for actually doing all these wonderful things.

Try not to worry too much, though. Things will work out. They usually do.
