An old friend from my hometown got off the plane in Narita earlier today and is coming down to Hiroshima now! Looking forward to being a bit of a guide over the next few weeks.

these next two weeks are going to be emotional.

tommorow i'm going to ring up my first choice of uni and ask them if it's possible to change my course application. Considering that the course i have decided i definitly want to do does not have as high entry requirements as the course that i have recieved a conditional offer for, I am fairly optimistic that my chances will be considerably improved, and that I could even be offered a place unconditionally.

Also, at the end of these weeks I'll be finishing work, which will be an amazing relief, a cool day with my workmates and a slightly sad end to a chapter of my life, too. To make things even more eventful, I intend to ask an amazing girl there for her number before i leave, and i'm really hoping that the end of my time at work with her will be more of a beginning than an end.
