Still don't know who my pred is, and I think at this point I'm resigned to the fact that I'll be heading over to Japan with minimal knowledge. Not too concerned though. It will just be a bit more of an adventure than I was thinking it would be. I did get my contract from the Yamanashi BOE and I know my address, so I guess I'm set.

In a few days, I'll be heading to Ohio for one last visit with the family. I'm definitely starting to feel nervous about leaving, but an excited sort of nervous.
