In preparation for Japan, and other stuff

Got everything for Japan after school yesterday. Went completely mad and bought:

Batteries. 12 pack, v. heavy. In hindsight, perhaps the 8 pack ones would’ve been better.

Suitcase. Black and lightweight (at least, lightweight until I tossed the batteries in) and wheely. Everything you need in a suitcase. And it was on sale. Bargain!

Telecard. Letter arrived today with my PIN, and the actual thing will be coming in a few days.

Toothpaste. It was one of those fancy ones of the pressy persuasion (as opposed to the squeasy type). Reminiscent of the one I took on grade 3 camp in England.

Sunscreen. I highly doubted that the $9 one was better than the $5 one, but eh, mum insisted.

Anti-persperant. Fancy Dove one with ‘inbuilt moisturiser’, apparently.

Panadol. Generally I never used (or needed, really) pain relievers of any kind, but y’know, just in case.

Films. Including the one already in the camera, I have upped the number of films to a healthy 7. 24x7=168 photos. That’ll be enough, I reckon.

Money. Put in an order at the local ANZ branch, and the cash will be coming some time next week.

Will start packing next week. I have no idea what clothes to pack- I have a shortage of shorts because I avoid buying any kind of short pants. And, yeah.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

In other news, I have finished all of my Japanese and English assessments. And on the way home I nearly got hit by a car.
