hey, i just saw your post on my lj friends page.. i know we don't really know each other.. i just remember that i friended you awhile back after meeting on an lj community, probably.
anyway, congrats on being a CIR and on graduating from UHM. i actually graduated the same time as you from UHM in english with a japanese certificate and music minor. i'll be leaving for japan one week after you -- aug 2 -- since i'm gonna be an ALT in kasumigaoka, fukuoka-shi. i've been assigned to one senior high school, so i'm super excited about that. :)
anyway just thought i'd say congrats and that it's so cool that we both got our dream jobs. :) at UH, i worked in the NICE program as a student interchanger and then i did a 2 week teaching program through that in Mishima, Shizuoka and I loved it. So I'm super happy to be a JET now.
I'll be posting regularly in my LJ about my experiences in Japan, so feel free to read my posts.
Yeah, I friended you right as I was going to U of H, probably via a community, asking what you thought of the program. Then I promptly tucked LJ under the rug for a couple of years, apparently.
Congrats on your JET placement as well, it should be fun to compare experiences! I'm planning on updating quite a bit more while over there (yeah, we've all heard that one before...), so there should be material to read.
