Taking the Plunge

Ok, so I took the plunge! I applied for the JET program, and now I'm getting all the paper application together. I have to have it to the Japanese Embassy by November the 24th. It makes me a bit nervous- I'll be away from home, and I don't know when or if I'll be able to go back. But it's not like I've even been accepted yet, so I can't say...

But, on the other hand, a long-term wish of mine will be fulfilled! I'll finally be able to go to Japan, and experience it firsthand. Is it bad that, in recent years, I haven't been as enamoured with Japan? I guess because now I know so much about it, and its problems.

But, I'm still excited!
