News from Kitakyushu

So as I've said before, JET is a long process. I heard a few weeks ago that I was placed in Kitakyushu, but I don't get any details until the Board of Education can give them to me. As new JETs, we have no way of contacting our placement for details (e.g. schedules, cooperating teacher, middle or high school) until we are contacted by them first. I am excited to say I just heard from the JET adviser in Kitakyushu and she will be sending my packet of information sometime this week! I am hoping it arrives next week, although it may take longer. Letters are sent in lieu of e-mails because there is often sensitive information enclosed and official work papers that I will need to fill out and bring with me to Japan.

I will update more when I receive my letter. I will also have a new entry next weekend after my orientation on Saturday!
