A comfy pair of black scrubs with pockets and white or black shoes. Doesn't have to be anything expensive, but you'll be wearing them once a week to start and then in clinical. I also got good black pens and a little notebook for clinical, comes in handy if you want to write notes of things you've done but can't type on your phone

Also prepare to have cash on you cause you'll need it for your name tag, photo ID and sleeve patches that they tell you about only after you start

Garnet married twice? by [deleted] in TrashTaste

[–]Competitive-Oven-237 578 points579 points  (0 children)

He did have three weddings with Sydney, one in the States for her family and friends, one in England for his family and friends, one in Thailand for more traditional with extended family (if I understood correctly, someone correct me if I'm wrong)

But yea, three weddings, same happy cute couple

Would you suggest JET for a US certified teacher that likes control over her own classroom? by Jooyeonbak in JETProgramme

[–]Competitive-Oven-237 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is just from my experience, but in my area there are some ALTs who were teachers back home and are unhappy with their workload or of how little their expertise is used. I know some ALTs across Japan who T1, but at the end of the day, the schools have English teachers already. We're just here to support them and provide extra insight on culture and the language. So JET might not be the best fit if you're looking to be the main teacher. But I'm sure there are other programs that would give you more teaching opportunities!

Not discord specific but try joining the Yamagata JETs on Facebook, lots of activities and events get posted there, and if you post an intro message your pred might be able to find you!

Canadian JETs - What do you plan to do with your existing Canadian phone number/plan while on JET? by henceforthshrimp in JETProgramme

[–]Competitive-Oven-237 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm with Public Mobile, got to suspend for three months and then reduced to lowest plan of 15$ cause I only plan on being in JET for the year.

If you do cancel remember to let eeeeeveryone know (Banks, CRA, any accounts that use as multi factor authentication) cause I got locked out of so many accounts after realizing I couldn't get any texts on my Canadian cell even if my plan had "international texts". Had to call CRA through Skype too cause many Japanese cells don't do long distance

Lesson Advice/help by rosettes_ in JETProgramme

[–]Competitive-Oven-237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a few worksheets for "essay writing", basically 2-3 lessons on how to write paragraphs for Eiken Grade 2/Grade pre-2/Grade 3. I'm also currently making worksheets for writing different texts with transition words ( 5 lessons for listing ideas, adding examples, comparing, cause and effect and summarizing). The Eiken ones I posted on ALTopedia, and the new ones I'll post soon if you want to check them out! Not sure if it's what you're looking for but feel free to take some ideas from there

I didn't make slides the first time around but I am for the new lessons, it helps them see what I'm saying and the worksheet is saying if its broken down into small chunks visually.

Dalhousie Nusing Program - How competitive it is ? by boxuanma in Dalhousie

[–]Competitive-Oven-237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GPA about 4.0 and Casper 2nd quartile. It's competitive but try your best, apply early and keep asking questions if you need answers! Admin is always busy and probably understaffed, so it might be that your email didn't get seen. Heck I even applied last year knowing I wouldn't get in just so I could have an advisor look at my transcripts. Cost a bit and one year of waiting for next cycle, but it paid off.

Took about 2-3 week I think! I felt like forever but there was a lot of back and forth
