The countdown to Japan begins!

I reserved my plane ticket this week for Japan! I am leaving Portland on Tuesday, September 26th. Until then, I'll be working at the same place and staying either at my parents' house or another house where I'll be doing some house-sitting. I'd love to spend as much time as possible with friends before I take off, so be sure to let me know what you'll be doing. I may try to make it down to Eugene again before I go, too. Please, please, please stay in touch!

P.S. "Tako" means octopus in Japanese. Get it?
