Change of Plans....

So I had a change of plans...As some of you may very well knew, JET was my first choice. I had heard about the City of Phoenix Sister City Program, but honestly didn't think much of it. I decided to send in an application just for the hell of it in case JET said no. After they said yes I really forgot about it. I scheduled an interview but wasn't even sure I was going to go , as it was in Phoenix on a Sunday. So hungover from the Gamma Phi formal and very tired, I borrowed Renee's car (Thanks again for that) and headed to Phoenix.

I was a little late as it is ridiculous trying to find parking downtown, and the interview was for only 15 minutes, yet I somehow weaseled my way into their good graces as 2 days later she called me and told me I was accepted. After thinking about which one I would like better for a day, I felt that the fact that the Phoenix Program and being in a big city with other Americans would be a better fit for me. Watch I now get stuck with some SERIOUS weirdos from America for the whole year. http://www.phoenixsistercities.org/img/company/PSC/img/TeachAbroad06Info.pdf

So although I have yet to sign the contract(I will later next week), Himeji is my new destination. For all of you who have never heard of it...it is basically only known for the castle which is the most famous in Japan. It should be exciting, fun, scary...A real adventure. WE will see. I have a few months before I leave(September 1st) and much packing to do, but in the meantime it is time to party my ass off these last weeks of school!
