I finally figured out what I want for Christmas

[inori]

I only want two things for Christmas this year.

This... (http://www.thinkgeek.com/interests/megatokyo/coolthings/5b59) Isn't it just so KAWAII?! ^_^

And to be accepted to this (http://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/jet/outline.html).

As for the second one, I just put in my application today. (Finally gathered up the necessary recommendation letters.) If all goes well, I'll get an interview in February (I hope)..., and if I pass that, I get to be back in Japan in August. :kawaii:

Cross your fingers for me... ;) I think I have a strong application, but I'm at the point of just waiting to hear from them right now.

I dunno what KAWAII is but it was cute. And good luck with the app.

[Mystery-Q]

Good Luck

[deathbyhokie]

yeah waiting for the acceptance letters suck. but you would know that. well good luck. when are you supposed to hear back from them?

[Xyvol]

Heh, KAWAII = cute.

Good luck to you. If you get to Japan, then you could probably get that blanket out of a vending machine somewhere...

[Jemsee]

Nice blanket,
Where, if you get accepted, would you be in Japan?
Big city collage, or small village school type?

[Ich]

I don't know any Japanese except Konichiwa and Kawaii. Good morning and cute. Good luck man!

[inori]

I'll hear whether I get an interview or not in January. Then the interviews happen in February, and a final decision happens around March or April. If I'm accepted, I end up in Japan at the beginning of next August.

I would be teaching at a middle or high school somewhere in Japan. You can make a placement request, but it's not guaranteed. Since I've lived in Japan before, and I was in a big city then, I've requested a somewhat more rural placement this time. (I'd like to contrast the more rural setting with the urban one I saw before.) I do, however, hope to be near where I was before (Nagoya) so that I can visit friends whom I met there.

Good luck getting the blanket for Christmas!

[gdorf]

Then.. you could take your blanket and stay warm in Japan!

Good luck Inori!
