It's less than three weeks until I depart, and that feeling is starting to come over me. You know, the feeling that you get a couple of days before a really awesome game that you've been looking forward to for a long time is released.
You've read every scrap of information about it, talked to your friends and family about it and pre-ordered the ultimate special edition of it. And now all you can do is wait.
Every other game just seems, well, boring. It doesn't have special feature X, and the graphics look quite dated compared to the Youtube-HD clips you've been watching. Even though there are a bunch of great games on your shelf left unplayed, you don't want to play them. Hurry up and arrive already, new game!
PS: The blogs title comes from here.
PPS: I know that was confusing.
PPPS: In other news, I made pasta for lunch!
I've finally received the details for my accommodation in Tokyo. I'm going to be staying at a dorm that is not all to dissimilar to what I thought I would be staying in a year ago, but much closer to Waseda and with a slightly bigger area (12.65 m^2):
The best part about this for me is that I will (oh so thankfully) have my own toilet and bath/shower. The bathroom may be the size of that on an aeroplane, but at least it's MY tiny bathroom!
I'll also have a backyard (a.k.a. balcony), fridge and fast internet. What more could I want? After all, I probably won't be spending all too much time in there.
After I settle in, I think I'll make up a video tour of the place to show everyone. Not that there'll be much touring necessary - I've pretty much shown you everything already.
It's only a month to go now - I'm excited!
Sometimes in life you just have to stop and smell the roses. Too often do we find ourslelves caught up in the hustle-bustle of our everyday lives, working towards a personal goal or the expectations that others place on us.
Sometimes, we need a sign to tell us that it doesn't have to be like that. We don't always have to think about the future or what others think or what is 'sensible'. I think this is a pretty good sign ;)
Over my next year in Japan, I will try to let go. I'm a natural organiser, so I'll see if I can 'stop and enjoy the rainbows' a little bit more~
