My largest goal was to go study abroad in Japan. I have worked as this for quite some time now, studying the language working through the paper work nightmares of Education Abroad Office. In the end, I was accepted and on April 3ed, I will leave America for one year to study in Tokyo, Japan.

Going only on what you wrote, I'd say that mostly everything you've been doing was geared towards getting accepted to study in Japan. Now that you have been, you are let down & have doubts. That is not an uncommon reaction to achieving a specific goal. It is also called "Buyer's Remorse", "Banging the prom queen" and "Now what?". It's transitory too. April is a ways away. As it gets closer, you'll snap back to where you were.

Congratulations on a very respectable accompishment too!
