After handing in my visa paperwork I found out that I will most likely be unable to go to NY for christmas...instead I will be stuck in Tokyo by myself...To get a visa takes three weeks...my flight is in two weeks from today...exactly. I cannot change my departure date one, because I bought discount tickets and they have already been issued. two, because there are no more seats left until after new year's. and three, because I cannot afford another ticket home. I already had to suck up the price of Miho's ticket. So now I am out over 1,000 dollars for absolutely nothing. It feels nice to light money on fire so to speak. I will not concede the tickets though...if I pay for them no one sits in them but me...screw American Airlines. Maybe if they still gave you free alcohol to America from Japan in economy (cattle) class I would cancel...but no way, they charge 4 dollars, or 500 yen, for their pint sized airplane alkyhol.

I will not be able to go home for a while either. I can only afford so many trips home. I emailed my father yesterday to tell him and got no reply back...thanks dad! Way to try to help me out! I am not happy about this but what can I do? Very little...Japanese Immigration laws suck...and also the criminal laws suck ass too. Eh...that's what I get for giving all the foreigners in ny such a hard time...it was fun though.
