diamondlifeI made it back OK! Got back to the UK about 5.30, had to wait quite a while for bags to be unloaded but I used the time to call my mum, got met by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
davechan, spent some time going up and down in a lift we didn't even need to go in before getting on a tube train that only went about 6 stops, changed to one that went all the way to St Pancras, drank some hot chocolate (it's impossible to get real hot chocolate in Japan! @_@ 飲みたかった！) and slept on the train. Got back to the house just before 11pm - ie, 7am Japan time! e_e Was reunited with all housemates except the one who's in Iceland, then luckily fell over about midnight and slept for a good 9 hours, so hopefully should be able to get right back on schedule, without going into a weird personal timezone like I did when I came back from America! XD
I have a letter from the uni saying my course starts on the 26th of September, so now I've got plenty of time to relax and get stuff sorted out and reacclimatise! Sooooo much stuff to do. @_@ Probably won't take me too long to do any of it, but yeah, it's a long and very random list!
Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who's kept reading my adventures while I've been away and left me lovely encouraging comments - there were times when it was tough, and I've really really appreciated everyone's kind thoughts and good wishes and responses! ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Thank you also to all the great people I met while I was over there - pretty much everyone in Western-Japanese K8 fandom, haha, and you were all wonderful, thank you all for all your help! I look forward to seeing you all again some time! ^_~
Wah, I had so much fun I can't begin to explain it in words! XD It's probably the most worthwhile thing I've ever done (which I probably said when I came back from America too, haha), and though of course there were difficult times, I got through them! The real factor that would've made it even better would've been knowing a lot more Japanese, so that's the next project. ;) Haha, I never wanna work again, I just wanna go off having adventures all the time! XD I could do like the fangirl's guide to Japan or something, haha.
I'm a lucky person, in very random ways - I'm very fortunate to have the financial backing to have been able to do all this stuff, and, for that matter, to just do my MA; I'm lucky I'm able to indulge myself this way, pursuing what I want. Haha, I put so much effort into enjoying myself, far more than I'm really willing to put into working! I'm a person who never gives up hope when it comes to things I want, I hate having to give up on something if there's even the most remote chance I could get it. Which I guess is a good thing, cos otherwise I sure as heck wouldn't have ended up seeing K8 three times, or, even, being in Japan at all!
Thank you again to everyone for all your support! ILUSM2U! ☆ Now I'm going to have a shower and eat a hot pork sandwich with apple sauce, and start my enormous scanning project. :D
