I've started getting materials ready for applying to the JET program.
I have to get 2 reference letters from professors. It's awkward for me to ask for them because I don't really know any of my professors here well. It's almost like asking strangers to write good things about me. I hope they won't mind doing this favor for me.
For those few of you who don't know what I'm talking about, you can read about the JET program
here. Dalai Lama speech is tomorrow. I'll have to miss one of my classes for it. I sent an email to my professor about it and this is what he replied:
Thanks for the note. It is much more important to see and hear this
extraordinary man.
I thought it was an interesting choice of words.
