On the JET application process
I turned in my application for the 2015 JET Program about two weeks ago. The deadline this year has PASSED for all US applicants–it was November 14th due to technical issues earlier last month....

Hello there! 久しぶり. It has been almost a year since I returned to the US, and I had stopped updating this blog at the end of the first semester in Japan. I have many stories and photos th...
Do you visit Odaiba, Diver City in Japan???
The only time I have been to Odaiba was for a few hours to pop into Comiket. I'm planning on returning again during my stay though. : )
DAY 119
Today was a very special day: I went to go do “Hatsumode”, a prayer for the New Year, with the Morinagas at Meiji Jingu shrine. This is one of the most famous shrines in Japan and on New Ye...
((update))
((Hey guys! I’m writing an outline for one of my research papers as I type this, but I wanted to let y'all know I’ll probably be back on schedule for reals tomorrow afternoon, barring any l...

DAY 79-DAY 118
久しぶり！It’s been quite a while, hasn’t it? A number of factors delayed my adventures to such an extent. The weeks before winter vacation were wrought with many tests and projects an...
DAY 78
There is LITERALLY no greater feeling than being off of school when the other 99% of the population is at school and/or working. Riding the trains just got so much easier! I met up with Maggie ...
DAY 77
Slept pretty much all day (and did some homework sob…..). My 77th day–77 is my favorite number. It would only be fitting, then, for it to be a day where I do whatever I please. B)
DAY 76
Was up ‘n at 'em early today to go to the Madoka cafe one last time with a big group of friends. Liz organized the retreat, so she came with her Japanese friend Marina while I brought Ernie a...
DAY 75
Normally, I’m not such a big fan of Japanese class on Fridays. But, today we learned how to do calisthenics with native Japanese students, so that was a very pleasant surprise. In Japan, cali...
DAY 74
We had the businessmen session in Japanese class today. What an intimidating experience. Our class is normally held in a pretty cramped classroom in the 11th building, but today we got to move ...
DAY 73
That kanji final was awful, awful, awful. I emphasize how awful it was because I felt like I was handing my soul away as the finished test slipped from my hand to the sensei’s. It was dead ...
DAY 72
Theater midterm. I actually forgot that it was open note! The plus side is that I took really in-depth coverage of each play that we had read, so the two essays we had to write were a snap. O...
DAY 71
I had my Japanese listening midterm. I don’t think it was too bad…but it was really the only time we’d been exposed to listening in class? I thought it was odd how we were tested over it, b...
Hi Britt, Congratulations on making it through midterms! I ...ou have a chance to explore! Love, Uncle Stuart and Aunt Janet
Hey there! I am so glad to be done with midterms! Now I've just got to catch up on posts, I'm about a week behind. :P I hope to do a little bit of traveling maybe this winter break (I'd love to g...
DAY 70
I met my friend Melissa in Shinjuku today. I hadn’t seen her since we left school back in May, so it was a good (albeit short) opportunity to play catch-up. She’s studying under UT’s pro...
DAY 69
Strangely, a Saturday when I’m actually doing homework…for a good reason. I need to study my butt off for the most hellish week of midterms ever. I had literally just hung up the phone with...
DAY 68
It’s Friday. Yesterday was Thanksgiving, which was a bit difficult for me because this is the first time I’ve ever been truly alone for the holidays. Even while away at college, everyone (m...
