Day 31 Addendum
(08/29/06)

Anners left Japan today. She had told me the date, but I didn't realize it was happening so soon. This transient wandering makes dates flow together, slip around. I don't even know what day of the week it is anymore, Monday is a s good as Saturday. She's been one of my closest friends and such a defining part of my experience here, that it's strange to imagine Japan without her. I haven't processed the feeling yet, but something is definitely off.
