<p>Oh wow... that sounds like me. I think honestly my foreign travel experience is my only big important credential. My SAT's are very poor, there is no point in denying in. Sure I know I have a lot of time, but mostly when I return from japan it will all be about rushing to do all the things I need to do.
I just finished packing. Right on top of the bag is a Naval Academy Sweatshirt to remind me of what I need to work for. I'm going to get there because I know I want it.
I also just received an email from my host school in Japan. They want me to decide what classes I should take. I've settled on Japanese History, English, Gym, and I still have extra room for more classes. I should probably take some more maths, but I will have to see when I get there.</p>
