Apparently it's worse going back to the states though. We'll see..should be heading back in October hopefully. My little brother is getting married up in NY.

Yea, she kicks ass. I dated her briefly in high school when I was senior then we went our separate ways. A few months ago we randomly started talking again and now I talk to her more than everyone else I talk to combined. We got to see each other a few times before I left, now it just sucks being so far away and in such a different time zone. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back home, though I will enjoy as much as I can while I'm here. Gonna hike up Mt Fuji and try and catch a JGTC race..at least one.
