Mizuno Ami’s Journal

I’ve been very busy with preparations the past few days. I have only a few more things to do and then I will be in the United States. I have a few posts of Ask Ami scheduled to post while I am settling in, but for now I must get ready to go to the party that the others are giving for me to send me off.

It was supposed to be a surprise, but Usagi-chan let slip. I’m glad she did really because I would have been even more overwhelmed if I hadn’t had a few days to prepare. My friends are so loving and so kind and generous, and I can’t help but feel still that I might be making the wrong decision to go and study in America, no matter how much they assure me that I am not.

Hopefully it will not be too long before I can pick up and let everyone know how things are going, but I’m not sure how I will set up internet over there, or what will happen with my phone. I love you all. You are so dear to me.

I will still be filling in my back entries and copying them from my other journal; but I’ve been neglecting to fill in other things, things which are more up to date. That’s been a grievous error on my part, but it’s a sort of compulsive thing I have. I feel the journal is incomplete and want it to be perfect.

Anyway, it’s very busy here. I’ve been finishing up my applications to go to America for school. I’ve kept putting them off because I’m so nervous, things have been quiet for so long yet I wonder if I’m going to screw things up somehow by leaving and everyone will be in the lurch without me. I don’t want to be neglectful in my duties.
