On July 25th, I will be leaving life as I know it, and moving to a foreign country. I don't know anyone there, and I don't speak the language. Japan will be quite the adventure! A couple of my friends have introduced me to the blogging world, and I figured blogging would be a great way for you all to keep in contact and a way for me to share a little bit of Japan with you!
I just found out I was accepted to the JET Program for the coming year! The Japanese Exchange and Teaching Program (JET) sends people from all over the world to Japan to work as an assistant English teacher. I will be placed in an area within the next month or so, and I will leave on July 25th. I am contracted for a one year minimum, so there is no going back! Right now, I am busy trying to get all my paperwork in order. I need passport photos (even though I already have a passport), finger printing for an FBI background check, various IRS forms, and other random requirements. It still hasn't hit me yet, but it is fun to see how excited my friends and family are.
Airfare is pretty cheap right now, so I want all of you to come visit! Yes, I'm talking to you...
