Late night… did the JET Orientation thing all day today and while I’m tired– I couldn’t sleep. So I loaded up the 2003 film “The Last Samurai” with Tom Cruise and watched it. It’s amazing that however inaccurate that film is or however misrepresenting of Japan– it’s the only movie that by the end will have me crying everytime. That’s even after the fact that I’ve seen it over 20-30 times.

OK Quickie Quickie Post… (well for me anyway)

The JET orientation was today at the WTC building. I had a great time but I was just overloaded with info I need to read.

Great people… just absolutely wonderful people there and I feel like JET is one big circle of comfort around you all the time… perhaps for life? I don’t know… Only that I’ve never experienced so much support and information about going overseas as I do from the people from JET. I can probably say that by the day I arrive I’ll have nothing to worry about or fear.

Also coming up.. some new “Post RTK” stuff I’m working up including a suggested Post RTK 1-2 year curriculum (I’m working on it seriously!)
