Welcome!
It still hasn't quite hit me that in less than a week I'll be going to Sendai, Japan. The whole experience is somewhat surreal. First came the NSEP Boren government scholarship, then the acceptance letter, and everything else just kinda fell into place. Before I knew it, I was buying the tickets and getting the visa.
Ever feel like you're just watching as things happen to you? Except normally when you do that things just stagnate, and you settle into a boring orbit around the same place with the same people. Somewhere I must have made an unconscious decision that this is what I want to do!
This is my life, and I'm proud to say that I'm doing it.
This will be my personal forum for posting photographs and telling stories about my journeys and adventures. Hopefully within the next few days you'll see this page take on a more interesting appearance, and I hope that all of you will help make it more interesting by contributing your thoughts through the Comments section of each entry.
Feel free to invite your friends and family, and share your random wisdom.

Jeff,
I'm very proud of you. I totally know that feeling--of being outside yourself, as if you're merely an observer. But I know that this is something you have wanted very much, and you deserve it. I know you'll have a ton of fun and learn everything you ever wanted to know and more. I'm praying that things go very smoothly for you.
Love,
FurFur
