Bye bye Maria, Osaka and Okinawa soon

It's been a while.  It's actually getting really close to the time I leave Japan finally.  I'm feeling really good about finally going back.  I have no regrets about not signing up for another year and I'm anxious to see my friends (what few I have left back home) and family.

I'm actually getting rid of Maria, my car, tomorrow.  It's been a great 3 years babe, you treated me great.  No major problems and you only cost $1,000.  I'll miss you, but you aren't worth the ridiculous shaken I'd have to pay to keep you another month and a half.  I'll be renting a car from the Ishida garage for around $250 for the next month and a half.  Not a bad deal actually.

I'm taking tomorrow, Friday, off until next Friday and am going to Osaka and Okinawa for a few days.  Just bought the tickets today and still haven't booked any hotels or things to do yet.  I'll be by myself which dampens things a bit but should be a fun getaway.  I'm bad at traveling by myself so hopefully I can will myself to have some fun.

The schools had a track and field meet the other day and my school cleaned up.  They took a bunch of first places in the relay races, I was pretty happy for them.

Guess I should start looking for a place to stay this Saturday...
