As everyone knows, I got my acceptance letter. The paperwork sent with the letter is arrival information that I have to fill out. Well classes don’t start until Sept. 22, and I wanted to visit my friends before school started. I was thinking I could go around the 13th spend some time with friends then school will start. Well, I found out that orientation is during the 2nd week of Sept., so now I have to go even earlier. I don’t really care because I want to go as soon as possible. So I sent Daito Bunka (my school in Japan) my travel ideas. I told them i want to arrive in Osaka on Sept. 1st and visit friends and then on the 8tIh I will hop on a train and leave for Tokyo, but again with the waiting. I have yet to get a response from them saying that my travel plans fit within the schedule for my orientation. Oh and when I say leave on the 1st that would be August 31st here. YAY! 15hr time difference. I hope they answer soon, because I only have 11 days to send them the information back.

Waiting… waiting… waiting… I have been waiting for my letter of acceptance since the end of February. As everyone knows, waiting is the worst thing ever. Much to my surprise, today I woke up to a phone call from the international center. This is a regular thing so I didn’t think much of it. They wanted the keys to their van back, because I used it last Friday to pick Kazuki up from the airport. She also told me that I forgot to fill out another form for my application to Daito Bunka. So I told them I would be there shortly. Upon my arrival she handed me an envelope. In the envelope was the most beautiful thing I have seen so far. My letter of acceptance, and of course more paperwork for me to fill out. It feels good to know that it is finally official. I have been trying to go to Japan on exchange for 2 years now and it is finally happening!

Unfortunately I still have some waiting to do. I applied for a scholarship and they wont announce the people getting the scholarships until the end of the month. Cross your fingers for me!
