Leaving on a JET plane

Ok I'm not leaving for another two months, but i've already entered leaving mode. I'm already a little nostalgic and i haven't even left yet. Looking over my time here i've neglected to do things on my 'things to do in japan' list. My cure to an unfinished list is to simply make another one, but this time a reflexive one -to remember the good and later the bad; first "Things I'll Miss" list: cake. packaging. combini food. being popular. english power. festivals. aeon. my stores. izakaya. the vegetables. kotatsu. funky clothes. light speed delivery. vegetable juice. hair products. biking. my rent. train. portions. service. aunt. free tissue. green-tea-flavored anything. underwear. the scale. making powerpoints. protected comfortable living. eating rice for lunch. cell. conveyor-belt sushi. onsen. pointcards. the smell. being called annchan. living in a house. some teachers. being energy efficient. mooching. the @ key location. answering journals. military time. metric measurements. japanese game shows. helping my grandma. writing my name in japanese. lunch w/ coworkers. having contacts put in by my optometrist. jyagabata. Family Marts fried chicken. Moss Burger. Then there's the "Things I Won't Miss:" the mullets. the unspoken. movie delay. sounding dumb (well..) the music. creepy neighbor. indoor shoes. garbage rules. yelping dog. shutdown at 9. collectivism. the comb over (i just wont look at Donald). high-pitched greetings. some teachers. talking slowly. not using contractions. the apostrophe key location (shift required). recent obsession w/ internet for anything U.S.American. changing into bathroom slippers. the question 'do you have a bf?' windows 98. japanese pizza. stares. biking in the rain. being bored at work. the winter (this could be an issue)

..but really i have no complaints it's been super sweet yet such a living soon cloys and i can't wait for my long dose of america.

good hunting.
