I finally figured out what I want for Christmas

I only want two things for Christmas this year.

This... Isn't it just so KAWAII?! ^_^

And to be accepted to this.

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.

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

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...

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

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

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.
