Orientation Day 3

We were escorted to our dorms/homestays today after having a short seminar on culture and culture shock. This entry will be short because when I got to my dorm room and opened my luggage (that I did not have access to until today), my camera bag was missing.  I called the IES people (study abroad coordinators) to let them know and they are calling the delivery service that delivered my bags but likely it was stolen somewhere between DFW and Narita Airport. So I am kinda bummed right now and not really up to posting anything other than this. I have to get in touch with my travel insurance company to file a claim and just hope for the best. The only silver lining to all this is that I had emptied the memory cards and transferred all the pictures to my hard drive back home. So at least I did not lose any precious memories. I just have to keep reminding myself that it's just a camera...it's not my life, it's not my health, it's nothing but metal and glass and plastic. Sigh...it still sucks though. So much for taking some awesome shots in Japan. This kinda took away from the experience I wanted to feel with moving into a dorm room for the first time. That mixture of excitement and apprehension. But right now I am just sad. ;_;
