A Year Later

So the last time I wrote here I was getting ready to leave Japan after an amazing year studying abroad. After another year at ASU, here I am again. I spent the year finishing the odds and ends I still needed for my degree, and doing one other thing. And that was spending a lot of time worrying about, and gathering materials for my JET application. About two weeks ago I got an acceptance letter informing me that I had made the cut, and I was going back to Japan! I tried to keep it on the inside, but I was so worried because this is all I've been aiming for, for at least 3 years now. And I just wanted to go back to Japan so badly ever since I left. I love everyone here but I'm just not done yet you know? Extra excitement because my friend Lexi, who applied with me is going too! I don't know where I'm going yet but I sent in the paperwork yesterday and I'm so excited! Its finally happening.

So this time I am going to make a more concerted effort to blog. Because I really do think documenting this amazing adventure is important. I will try and keep details to the minimum since I know privacy is important for the schools I'll be teaching at. But I wanna keep records of my off the clock adventures as well as my feelings about this, its my first real job after all! I might do a vlog too. Who knows? If I do I'll post some links here. Look forward to more posts about this process I'm going through and watch out Japan, here I come! .....again
