flight

i finally have a flight confirmation. i'm leaving norfolk at 6.59 am on friday, september eleventh. tragically, i have layovers in chicago and tokyo, making the whole trip about twenty-two hours in total. at this point i can't even wrap my head around what that's going to mean. i'm still in california, and i haven't even really begun to pack. when i get home i'm going to have about three days to buy what i need to buy, get everything together, pack, unpack, repack with less things (inevitably), say good-bye to everyone, and leave.

ahhhhhhhhhhhh.
