Sayonara

I have spent the last week in bed sleeping and I kind of just woke up. I have had a really high fever and other symptoms that imply that I was sick! Today I’m feeling better but I’m still mostly sleeping. It feels great to be able to just sleep and not have a bad conscious afterwards. I think I got sick because I’m starting to feel quite stressed. I have to pack my entire life that I’ve had here for the last 10 months in small boxes and it’s not that easy. I have already sent one box home by boat but I have to sent at least one more.
Saying goodbye to all of my friends is another thing I have to do and I was planning to have a farewell party but now I’m rethinking because I don’t think I have the time nor the nerves to organize all that. I’ll maybe have a dinner when my friends from Sweden come in next week but other than that I don’t think I will do anything. I’m glad that I’m feeling better now because I’ve been invited to a party at my friends company and it seems as there will be a lot of embassy people coming there. It’s a great opportunity to make contacts and I really want to go!
Finally I got myself facebook so now you can add me, I’m under ‘Indra Sharma’. There’s two of us but I’m the first one. Please add me so that we can stay in touch!
People around me are getting very sad and depressed because they soon have to go home. It seems especially difficult for the half Japanese exchange students, they have a special connection with Japan that makes it very hard. I think that it’s the prices you have to pay being biracial. Others are leaving their girlfriend/boyfriend behind and that must really suck since they don’t know when they’ll see each other next time. But it’s said that real love survives everything and I actually believe that, lets hope they do too. I’m very glad that I’m not in that situation though.
This is the last time I blog but I’ll continue posting photos in my photo album!
I don’t know how to finish this, it feels so strange. I’ve had an awesome year and I believe that going on this exchange has been one of the best experiences in my life. I’ve made so many good friends and met so many different and interesting people. Many of my friends and family back home have also come to visit me here and that makes it even more special since I should share all this with them. I’m going to miss so many things: the city, the food, the weather, shopping, my uni and my friends. My life. Still, It feels okay to return home mostly because I really want to get my real life started. Now that I’ve seen more of the world I can’t wait to finish school and start working. I’m starting my last year at Uppsala University this fall and it feels nervous but also good. This year has been like a dream, I’ve just had so much fun.
I don’t know when I’ll have the time to come back to Tokyo but I hope it will be soon.

I LOVE TOKYO!!!
