At its end.

Well my Japan adventure has surprisingly come to an end. For the last seven weeks I've been submersed within the Japanese culture, attempting to learn as much as I could from the people and surroundings. I definitely felt like it was enough time. I was able to accomplish all of the assignment for my internship. I made a lot of new friends that I will be missing when I leave. It was honestly an experience of a lifetime. I was able to do so many things (as you can tell in my blogs). I also did so much more that I failed to blog on, but I'll have stories left over to tell when I get home.

I leave for the airport tomorrow afternoon, but my plan to defeat the jet lag demons started two days ago.

[my plan]

So for the last two days I stayed up past 4 in the morning (the sun was coming up it was weird).
With this I'm hoping that it will mess up already funky Japanese sleeping pattern. Then to really put the spin on the jet lag I will stay up all night tonight. Theoretically, I will be extremely tired once i get on my flight. The goal is to fall asleep for the entire 10 hour plane ride. When i arrive in the US it should be 12pm the same day. In conclusion, when I walk of that plane I should be good and rested, already adjusted to my regular sleeping pattern.


That's my plan, flawless I must say. I'll let you know if it works.

It should work.
And also, here is my advice - Don't think TOO much about it! The bigger of a deal you make it, the harder it is to come off of jetlag. If you stay up all night and then crash...don't even think about a time difference thing...just keep going on the normal California time, and you will be back to normal in no time!

Good, great. Now, once I'm 21 and we're married, we can go to Japan and you can show me around.. *wink Can't wait.
