I am dying.
No seriously.
I threw up in class on Friday (well, ran out of said class and threw up in the bathroom, thank god - I don't know the word for vomit in Japanese) and although I desperately didn't want to be in class anymore, that's not QUITE how I wanted to make my exit. I think it's just stress but wow. Normally I am plagued by upset intestines and canker sores like whoa, but this is the first time in 4 years of college where I have been so stressed about the end of the semester that I have been sick enough to be throwing up, completely sore (my neck and shoulders are made of concrete, it would seem) and going on a 2-3 week headache that mysteriously disappears on the weekends.
argh. 2 weeks left to go. Business presentation on Tuesday, going home orientation on Wednesday, also my final culture paper is due. Big Japanese presentation needs to be finished on Monday, I think we're rewriting/reworking it all week, then practice on Friday, give it on Monday, final on Wednesday, exit the country on Saturday.
I pretty much can't wait to go home. I watched Lost in Translation (finally, the whole thing!) last night and.. it pretty much sums up the gaijin-in-Japan experience.

Uh, on that note... Hang in there!
