09/12/2007: "Submission, GO!"

Sent off my passport photos, resume, and cover letter a few hours ago. We'll see how it goes. Naturally, I'm sure I'll keep you (and by 'you', I mean the nebulous body that may or may not be reading this self-centered record of my life) informed of how things are going.

It's strange realizing that every other time I've bought a plane ticket in my life, it's always been 'round trip'. But this next time will be one way. Amazing how that minor technicality has such a larger meaning behind it.

Anyway, regardless of what happens with this current school, I'll be looking at a job in Japan relatively soon.

I need to go to bed and study for some tests tomorrow (one in Japanese, a quiz on some kanji/vocab/translation of a reading I've done and one in psychology). Loooooooong week. But this weekend, I'm going to Old Tucson again. Not exactly the happiest place on earth, but playing tour guide makes nearly any experience more enjoyable.

Well, wish me luck!
