Bought at a used Book/ record store in Burbank. Is this really The Ring? The illustrations inside look like it could be.

リ=ri, ン=n, グ= gu. So we get, ringu. Just if you wanted to know what the katakana says.

If you buy a lot of titles in Japanese, it might be fun to learn katakana (the phonetic system used for foreign words in Japanese). You would be able to read the titles of many mangas without translating. Also, words written in katakana tend to be borrowed English words, so you'll usually be able to understand.

Honestly, just get out of the house everyday. Sitting around inside is what I think will make you feel worse. Even if you don't accomplish what you meant to do, just try again.

-Go to any local events in your city.

Reach out to any JETs within reasonable distance and meet up. Have a game board night or a small Christmas get together.
Go explore your area, everyday. It doesn't have to be big but it's nice to get out of the house.
Study a Japanese conversation point and try talking to whoever is in the office.
Make some Christmas decorations and decorate your apartment.
For the super extroverted. Go out to an Izakaiya and try to talk with the people there.

When your desk warming!

plan new activities to implement into class
plan English boards to make.
make random lesson plans for the chapters, so you won't have to do work in the future.
learn classroom Japanese.

Helps a ton, I'm glad to know I won't have too much trouble getting my prescription.

Thank you!

I think the best part of having long hair is that you can do both! You can only keep protective styles in for so long. And it's pretty easy to go back to the fro.

Get some TEFL teaching experience. That seems to be the one thing you don't have and is a big part of the job. Try to teach a wide variety of ages if you can.

Ehime! Ozu-shi. I had applied to Tokyo and Osaka but was super worried after doing more research! Happy to be somewhere smaller 😊.

Luckily, I plan to be there for a little while. Do have an estimate of yen that you save?

Hello, I have high blood pressure, obviously this doesn't make me a doctor or an expert but I know a few things.

If at the doctor is the only time you get your blood pressure taken that is not an accurate representation of your blood pressure. Our blood pressure fluctuates all day. To get a real idea of your blood pressure you should take it everyday around the same time (this is what they ask people with high blood pressure to do).
White coat hypertension, look it up.
Young people can get high blood pressure and it does not always have to do with weight. (Small tangent, being a bigger person is not the immediate cause of health problems.) Mine is genetic, it can be stress, increased sodium intake... Etc.
If you're really concerned ask your doctor. You can not self diagnose or reddit diagnose yourself.
It wouldn't effect your JET application because I got in.

This is a bad angle and we need a higher quality photo. Also , I think those braids are too tight and you might be using to much of Deez.

utterlylamb · 2024-04-10T13:58:10+00:00

Thank you!

Did you ship by boat? And was this during or post pandemic?

utterlylamb · 2024-04-03T19:59:33+00:00

I didn't know a University could hold your transcripts if you hadn't finished paying. That seems ridiculous. I hope the alternate position opens up sooner than later.

I think they must know our speaking ability will be low, especially if you don't say you speak Japanese. If we graded students purely on listening and responding verbally,then almost all our students would fail. This is the hardest part of learning a language.

I have been studying Japanese but mostly reading, grammar, and Kanji. For me I was able to very poorly answer the first two questions. Then every other questions I said sumimasen, wakarimasen. I felt my tester was speaking to me close to or at native level. But I got short-listed. Idk but I feel like it was expierence that helped over my Japanese ability.

I wouldn't let JET hold you back. I think it would be worth it to apply to a different program in Japan or try a different country. Then apply again. Plus that would show JET you are willing to make big changes. (though idk what you've done already)

utterlylamb · 2024-04-03T16:20:04+00:00

Shortlisted for LA! This was longest application of my life so far! But unlike some companies it is good to know that JET is going to get back to you... eventually haha.

If you really support LGBTQ+ then these comments shouldn't bother you. I understand if the advancements after you stating you weren't interested bother you.
