A few important dates
According to the timeline that Doug sent me, here are two particularly important dates for me:
In mid-May, I will receive placement notification. That is, I will be told where they will be sending me. At this point, I have no way of knowing whether I'll be in a big city or the back woods, or what area of the country my placement will be in. I'm hoping it will be in the city, but I am happy to be able to live anywhere in Japan, and I am ready and willing to make the best of my placement, no matter where it will be.
On July 24th, I will be departing from Japan along with other JETs who interviewed in Chicago.
By the way, I remember another question that I was asked in my interview but forgot to talk about in my first entry. One of them (I forget which one, though) asked me if I could teach students about any period of American history, what would it be. I told them that I would teach them about the civil rights struggle of the 1960s.
That's all for now.
