Well, I’ve been drowning in a mountain of paperwork this semester… I’m currently juggling TUJ documents, UF scholarship documents, and employer documents. I think it’s under control, but it is requiring massive lists. My priority at the moment is getting the TUJ visa documentation together. I have everything I need to send them except my passport photos (gotta run to AAA or Kinkos or something) for the visa and the financial aid letter from the UF Fin Aid officer. She should have the letter tomorrow, and I will get the visa photos in the next couple days, so I can have that all mailed out by Friday. The deadline is Oct 16, so it is coming fast upon us.
My next serious piece of business is to purchase my ticket, which is looking to be about $1000. That is pretty hefty, but it’ll be good to have it all settled. After that, the next worrisome bit is to find an apartment. I found a really good site online for finding inexpensive housing in Japan for foreigners… I have to e-mail some of these places for more information. The site is Japan Guide. So, if you’re looking for somewhere to live in Japan, and you’d prefer to secure housing before you leave, try looking there.
