November 10 The absolute best piss of my entire life was today after I turned in my Sophia University application; it's all been several months in the making but I've gotten it all done. I always feel so helpess when I get to the top of those stairs; I'm always breathing a little heavier than normal and my heartrate is a little faster than usual so I talk like someone in a hurry when I get to the study abroad office but today I smiled and it felt good. The doctor I saw to fill out my health form absolutely loved that I was going to Japan and advised me of all the savory food I should eat there. He brought lots of good recommendations and I should think to try them all. I will fall asleep early again today since I am provided with this opportunity so infrequently.
