Lol.
My energy level took a skydive today. I got home from work and crawled into bed almost immediately. It was like I tried to do a few things but every road-bump seemed insurmountable. The next thing I knew I was snoozing and comforting myself by repeating "At least I went to work today".
I've been so busy planning my trip and thinking about what I should do, where I should go, who I should meet, that I just drove myself into the ground with excitement. When I have so much on my plate I always feel like I am somehow behind or forgetting something, and I've been having dreams about that too! It's so nice to wake up and realize that I am still in Finland and my wallet is in my backpack.
Friday I got really stressed about where I would be staying in Tokyo. I got some offers on couchsurfing but somehow I still had an unsure feeling. Luckily a local friend came to my rescue and offered me an opportunity of a lifetime: to stay at her parents place! I'm really excited to see everyday Japanese life and working on my polite ways to say please and thank you (in Japanese) so I can live up to any positive expectations they might have of me. The excitement about staying with my friends parents has got my head spinning.
Lately I've been wondering how I can be so luck! I even got a compliment on my blogging skill! Yay!
I hope you're all well!
Thanks for reading!
