I see I’ve fallen behind on updating this blog, so I thought I’d at least take a moment to check in.
I still haven’t heard anything from JET. Near the end of May, I decided to go ahead and move forward with my Master’s program, and I’m working on my online orientation this week. I start my courses July 1st. I am not giving up on going to Japan or learning Japanese, but I probably will not do JET this year, even if I am offered an upgrade.
I continue to slowly work through TextFugu and Human Japanese, and I also keep reviewing my flash cards in Anki. I’ve also started taking weekly Taiko drumming lessons with Seattle Kokon Taiko. It’s so much fun! I’m looking forward to the next one tomorrow night.
I’ll try to post a more in-depth update on what I’m learning later this week.

Hi
Thank you for visiting my blog and making a kind comment.
Teaching at high schools in Japan, I have worked with several ALTs on the JET program, and I am glad to know that you are applying for it.
I am praying with you.
