PLACED

I FINALLY FOUND OUT WHERE I’LL BE MOVING TO IN AUGUST! Nagahama City, Shiga Prefecture! K I’d never heard of Shiga, I do know it’s near (ish) to Kyoto (now) It’s in Kansai, Honshu (my boss is so going to laugh when she hears this, “I hope you’re not Kansai” she said). I’m close to Himeiji Castle (WHICH I NEED TO SEE) and Nagahama has lots of historical connections, and looks beautiful. I just hope it has… idk a bus service? Its no where near the busiest city in Shiga but I just hope.. I have a bus. Please god give me a bus service.

Even though I recieved that magic upgrade phone call, my handbook and all these important forms to fill out I don’t think I was really thinking of JET as real. Not capital R Real anyway. But now I know where I’m going I can get an idea of what to expect. I’m still waiting on my contracting organisation to contact me. I wonder what kind of school I’m teaching at! I can’t find a list of high schools only junior high and elementary schools. Maybe I’ll be at one of those? 

Back into the unknown I go. I feel like JET don’t want to give you all the information at once, they have it but gosh they are not going to give it. It’s stressful but also really exciting.
