My JET application has been officially received by the embassy of Japan in DC. I got confirmation this morning. Now I have to wait until January before I learn of the interview results. Interveiws will be held in February and then I will not know if I got the job or not until late March early April. It is quite a bit of a time span, but with thousands of Americans applying and even thousands more from around the globe, it seems pretty understandable that they would take a while. Only 20% of people who apply get selected. It is a highly competative program. I am applying for one more school in Japan, but I cannot apply until the spring. They don't have their new application online yet. I don't want to just limit myself to only one program. Thought I really hope I get this job. Not because I am an anime loving manga craving Japanese freak (which, I am not any of that) I really feel that God has placed these people on my heart. Whenever I think about possibly not going to Japan, I can feel my heart cry.

If you have been wondering where I have been for the past month, I have been mostly behind a pile of paper and errands as I am applying to the JET Program. There is a lot involved into this application and thus far I have collected over 100 pages to send them as part of my application. I am nearly complete in the process at this point. All that is left is to have my statement of purpose essay completed. The deadline that my application has to be in the hands of the administrator is November 14th, 5:00pmEST. This is NOT a post mark date, they litterally need to have it in their office by that date or before. I have submitted my online portion of the application already, which creates a profile of me that they can just check off that they have received everything. Then they will send me confirmation once all the documents have been received. I hope that I can get my essay finished this week. I want to send everything no later than Monday as the following day is veteren's day.
