So. As we entered the month now, I thought I'd talk about it a little. I am going to Japan on the 29th of March, and I am staying for at least a year.
I applied for a school there that helps to find employment. The only requirement is that you have N2, and a hella lot of money x"D Fortunately, I had both, so I went for it last year around may. It took until the 23th of February to get the okay back for sure. I got the Certificate of Eligibility that day, which means Japan lets me stay there for one year and three months for now. If I end up finding a job, then I wouldn't mind staying for a few more years.
I still don't know all the details about how the school operates, but it seems I'll have classes in the morning only, and I can work 28 hours a week, which I so want to try, tbh. Hopefully the school won't kill my motivation once I see how much studying I need. The goal is reaching N1 level by december(I really hope not July x"D) and to boost our oral skills, as that's usually lacking if you mostly just prepared for JLPT. Mine definitely does, but I feel so dumbly confident. Lately my English oral finally clicked and now I can watch most things without sub - I mean I watched Obama's speeches live x"D - and I became able to smoothly talk, too. As with Japanese the listening part was already on 95% level - did I mention I got 100% on the N2 listening? //smug - so I just need to wait for the moment when talking clicks in. It's so much easier to be confident about your language skills when it's not the first experience anymore. So I hope the moment I'll be forced to talk Japanese - and the teachers in the school, as rumoured, hardly speak any English - it's gonna be all fine. I have a pretty huge dormant vocabulary it just needs to be stimulated.
Geez, I can't wait. I'm not even just excited about BEING IN JAPAN, but all the things I can learn? I really, really love learning Japanese, so this should be a great time. I'm a little worried about being the oldest in the group, but oh well, I tend to be the mommy in every social interaction so there is not helping that x"D
About being in Japan... I'll be Tokyo!!! Specifically, in Nishikasai, Edogawa-ku, which is like so nicely in the middle between Chiba and the centre. I am a true Arashi fan, ok xD I'll stay in dormitory, and it's an all girl one which I am utterly grateful for x"D Though, it won't help my repulsion of men much, but who cares.
Dah, I have so many plans, so I'm constantly begging for a convenient schedule. I don't even know if we have summer vacation of some sort, but really hope so. The moment I have like three days off I'm booking a ticket to Naganoken and going to see my beautiful mountains!!
Now I'm in the middle of panicking about getting all my legal things on hold here. I'm such a child, it's super hard to figure these bureaucracy processes out, but fortunately, so far everything turned out fine. Just let it stay like that so I can spend my last days here worrying about going over shit that tries to bound me here -_-
So, short but huge news: I AM GOING TO LIVE IN JAPAN~~~~~~~

Write it as a dream, read it as a goal~
(Lol look at how fitting the music that came on is)
