Hello

I am opening this blog because I'm going to be in Kyoto for the next long time (this school year, to be precise), and I should probably keep a record of it.  Partly because people I know might want to know that I'm alive and reasonably healthy.  Largely because I forget things if I have no record of them.  (Oops.)  I chose this blog name because I rather like the poem it comes from.  Also because it'll probably be so completely NOT the case.  I think I'll be completely lost on a regular basis, in some sense or another. 

I'm not in Kyoto quite yet; I leave on Monday, actually.  But this whole week has been preparation anyways, so I think it counts as a part of the adventure.  Maybe.  I've been doing things like making sure I have clothes (SOCKS), making sure I have other important things (Camera, purse, wallet I can actually find things in, etc.), and seeing people around here that I won't see for another long while.

It has also been me procrastinating by watching Dr. Who and Arashi concerts.  This is somehow relevant and important, I swear.  (No it's not, I just don't want to do laundry.)  And....that's that.  I'll update once I actually have important interesting things to update about.
