400 revised.

My revision week is going well, 400 under my belt. On schedule. Had a 4 hours interview today. Nan de?! So tired, but ofc wont be in bed till 2. 

A bit tentative to announce this, since I made no fuss about it before, but I have just been invited to a JET interview in 2 weeks. Totally nervous, maybe will ask the dates to be changed…it’s too soon!?! For those that done know, JET is the Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme. I didn’t think I’d get it, since a girl was already invited in my Japanese class and I thought, well I didn’t make the cut. But got the email today. Nervous as hell.

I’ll try and make this blog not too JET-centric since there are many of them around…and probably nothing new to document..I’ll be reading up in interview tips. So…this should be interesting. But do put up with the occasional bursts of JET hysteria as it takes over my mind as the date draws near. 

I need sleep.

  1. Good luck with the JET interview, it is something I considered doing in the past. If you can get in I’m sure you’ll have an awesome time in Japan and learn alot about the culture there. Just make sure you make some time to practice Japanese speaking while you are there. One of my friends stayed in Japan for about a year but didn’t get that fluent because he stayed in a dorm with mostly English speakers and also had to give his classes in all English (Japanese was forbidden). I am not sure if that was JET or something else, but just keep your options open and enjoy whatever you end up doing.

    • Ah yes, I’ve been reading up on a lot of blogs. The JET’s seem to flock together (understandable) and it seems like it’s considered rude if you don’t hang out with the other JET’s from you prefecture. However I will endeavour to make enemies with JET’s and therefore be forced to socialise with Japanese. Well joking…but I’m there primarily for the learning the language and culture exchange etc. Keeping my options open for now…will either involve resuming some overpriced studies here…or making the break and just getting my ass to Japan somehow. Anything could happen but just staying positive and taking it one day at a time 🙂
