JET Program: Accepted!

Today was the day!

I received an email at 2:45 today which confirmed that I have passed the interview and will be heading to Japan on July 30th, 2011. Its quite a relief. I started the application process back in September, so I've been waiting for just a little over 6 months. I'M SO EXCITED!!

I found out while I was at work, so I did a little happy dance in my cubicle before letting people know that I was accepted. My initial position is contracted for a year, with the potential to re-contract up to four times (five years total). Ideally, I'd like to stay 3 years or so, but who knows - it could be more, it could be less.

In about a month I should find out where specifically in Japan I will be headed and whether I will be teaching at an elementary, middle, or high school.

Things have a way of working out!!!!

More later
