Wally Nes’ Blog

I’ve just finished my last exam, and for the remainder of this academic year I am free as a bird. Free as a plane. Free as something extremely . . . free’ish

That having been said; The academic year ends tomorrow. And in what time remains I have to pack up EVERYTHING I own and transport it somewhere else. Most of the stuff only needs to travel to Alphen aan den Rijn, home of my parents, storers of my shit. But some 20 kg of it needs to travel ALL the way across the globe to a new home in Japan.

Yes, yes, life is still very hard. And despite my complaining I’m really very psyched. Psyched and utterly exhausted. But psyched non the less. And in that state I will now tend to those last details that need working out. “I”s to be dotted, “T”s to be crossed, you know, that sort of thing.

And then there’s worrying about what’s to come.

Oh, I don’t mean me in a completely different culture of which I don’t speak the language. I don’t mean packing up and leaving everyone and everything that I know. I was talking to Jochgem the other day and his bags didn’t arrive in Cuba with him and I realized that’s happened to me 3 times now. It got me thinking: WHAT WILL I DO FOR CLEAN UNDERWEAR should that happens again.

I doubt I’ll have another chance to blog anything before I depart, so I will say my “Farewells” here. Though really, if you’re reading this, does it matter from where I’m posting it?

So:

So long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye

The sun has gone to bed and so must I

Got to be in the land where it rises when it wakes up, now don’t I.
