One Year
Saturday, April 5th, 2008Today is april 5th. A day forever burned in my mind. An entire winter I though of april 5th. Through the winter of 06-07 I found myself shoveling snow, hauling buckets of chips to Sunken Gardens, and packing boxes at home, all the while a piece of paper from an airline stared me in the eyes. April 5th was coming.It came and on april 5th 2007 Melissa and I got on a plane and flew to Japan. I can’t believe its been a year, but at the same time I can’t believe its been only a year. Being in school now I find my moments of recollection sporadic. Sometimes it seems like we never even left, and other times when I’m walking home from school I look up at Lincoln’s skyline squint my eyes and see the buildings lining the walk from Chris’s house to the closest kaiten sushi bar ( a walk made many times). I will say I miss Japan and the world very much these days. I think a cold winter had something to do with it. Spring is here and I can’t wait to whiteness Nebraska’s beautiful transformation from tundra to paradise.But I really want to go back too.I miss bells on bikes, and chu-hi’s
