Not as ready, inevitably set, almost time to go

Sorry for the lack of update, everyone, but school consumes just as much time as it does money. However, I am done with finals now, and doing some last minute scurring to make sure things in Japan go somewhat smoothly. I picked up my JR Pass at Mitsuwa Market the other day, which will allow me unlimited use of Japan’s rail system for 7 days. It’s pretty convenient. It’s only available to foreigners (not to the Japanese) and the unlimited pass costs less than a one way train ticket to Kyoto from Tokyo would.
I’m picking up a camera in Evanston tonight from a person selling it through craigslist. It’s the same camera that I used at Yosemite, however for yosemite, I bought the camera from walmart with the intention of returning it, because it was 400.00. I’m getting it from this person for 100.00. W00t!
Flight leaves at 9:00 am tomorrow – I plan to be there at 5:00 am, thanks to thanksgiving.
I’m feeling pretty good about this trip – though I am running very low on sleep due to papers and finals i’ve been writing and studying for – and can hopefully get some on the plane.

I hope all of you have an awesome thanksgiving. I’ll definitely be envious of the turkey you guys will be devouring, except that the turkey will make you guys too tired to read my post when I arrive! Shame!
