Alright, since my first post, I have made some progress. I've gotten all of my visas except Japan, which, as I mentioned before, I can't apply for until the week before I leave. I just have to pick up my passport from the Chinese consulate.
I booked my tickets. One-way for me, round trip for my mother, who will be flying down to Nassau with me so that we can have a mini vacation before I leave. It's really cool of her to come with me. I'll love to be able to spend some time with her before such a long parting. I realized that this is the first time I'll be away from her for so long. About 4 months. I've always lived at home and commuted to school, so this'll be a new experience for me in this way as well.
I hope to get my computer fixed up so that she can use it without any problems. My friend Jon built it and he said he'd give me a hand. She and I will have to do most of our correspondence via email. Cell phone charges are just too much overseas, and this trip is costing us a fortune to begin with.
I'm grateful to my mother for helping me with this trip. All of her support really means a lot to me.
We fly down on 01 February. I dock and she comes back on the 4th. It's kind of freaking me out that I only have three full weeks with my mother until the summer. Most people who take this initial step away from home when they go away to college and live on campus are only a long drive or a short flight away from their families. I'm going to be on the other side of the globe.

Do you live on a boat for the entire time?
When we dock, we are set free into the country. If we individually choose to stay in port, we can use the boat as our hotel for the duration of our stay.
Sorry it took me a while to reply to this. Things have been crazy over the past week!
