I'm Out.

Fri Dec 22, 2006, 12:05 PM
Two weeks.

In two weeks, I'll be in Japan. I'll be stepping off the airplane, and finding my way blindly through customs to get on a bus to take me to Mito. From there, I'll be picked up from someone at the Heart corporation to take me to the apartment set up for me. And there, I will spend the entire night awake, wondering if I've made the right choice.

I begin teaching middle school and elementary school children on January 9th as an assistant language teacher or ALT for the Heart corporation. I will be teaching in Hitachinaka, Ibaraki prefecture, Japan. Its a port town right on the east coast, 80 some miles north east of Tokyo. Looks like a good place, and its a big town. I'll be driving while I'm there, so getting lost may be a problem, but we'll see. My contract is for three months, then assuming all goes well with it I'll be taking a contract for a year position.

I'll be keeping this DA account open if I ever decide to write some more, but more than likely I won't be updating the journal. I'll probably make a new site and leave a link here, but I'd like a journal set up just for my experiences in Japan.

I've been sort of bipolar about the situation. Sometimes, I'm excited. Other times, I'm so nervious and worried I can't get out of bed. I've made all the preparations I can. It's time I start my life.
