Well, there has been some progress on the Japan-front. Here’s the latest:
Received my certificate of eligibility today, so I can officially apply for my visa with the Japanese Consulate of Miami (I have to mail in my certificate, a visa application, my passport, and some photos).
I was supposedly registered for all the classes I want, although I have no real confirmation of this, as OWLnet isn’t showing my registration.
The dollar has been doing poorly, but at least stabilized over the last couple of days at ¥110 per $.
I’ve elected to stay at the Sanuki hotel for a few days upon arriving, but I haven’t heard whether that has been approved or not yet.
So, I guess that’s my recent news. The Consulate of Japan in Miami said it should only be a four day turnaround time to get my visa, so I will try to get those materials to them next week at the latest. Also, I supposedly have to attend a mandatory orientation through UF, but I have a class that day, so I will have to see if there’s any way to get out of it.
