Hello jolly folks!
Seems I won't be leaving Sweden to "the Land of the Rising Sun" on the 16th August,
because I'm still here!
Looks like I'll (hopefully) be going sometime this week, and that's a pretty tight schedule, because I have to leave at least 25th Aug; The course starts 28th Aug. I haven't even booked a flight ticket for crying out loud.
I've alway been an optimist, more or less, but reality dictates I'll get to Akita
after the 28th.
As if that wans't the only problem. I originally planned to arrive and stay in Osaka for a couple of days, to hang out with my girlfriend, Maiko. I haven't seen her in eight months, so I was kinda hoping to have a nice reunion with her, especially when her birthday's the 24th. But nooooo. As if it could get any worse, I've already bought a ticket from Osaka to Akita dated, oh hell yes, 28th August.
So now I'm going to be 1000 SEK poorer, miss the first day at the AIU (Akita International University) and the packing is not finished yet....actually It hasn't really started. To put on the record, I also haven't completed the prestent-shopping. Yay.
Well, to sum up: It all
sucks. But hey, I've been in worse situations. And what's life without obstacles and problems. As James Hetfield sings St. Anger, "F*ck It all and no regrets", quoted for truth.
To let out the frustration inside of me during these recent events, I made a modest poem (took 1 min). Read with joy.
"Forgive me fair Akita,
Fate has kept us further apart,
But fear not oh field of eternal rice,
Soon I will embrace your gusty wind in my arms
And let your autum winds caress my skin."
PS. This feels kind of gay and I assure you I never do poems, ever. This is just a impulse thing. When I'm feeling down or frustrated I usually punch the wall or do nothing.
