Heheh, my first JET pun. Hopefully the first of many.
I’m really beginning to worry about it now, the interview is only two days away.
This will probably decide the course of my life.
Oh. My. God. (-_-)’
Today I got a passport taken for my interview card. Why do they need that anyway? It feels like America’s Next Top Model or something. Anyway, the photo wasn’t great. Of course, it wasn’t nearly as bad as the pre-Helsinki passport fiasco photo… *shudder*
This evening I’m going to by a suit in Dundrum. I’ve never bought a suit before…I’ve never worn a suit before! I have a cheap one that I got in France, but that was bought with the intention of doing something glam-rockish with it. Which I did 
I suppose I can get something in Zara.
So, back to worrying.
I have a horrible feeling that it’s going to turn out just like Belgium. As in, I am the only one who doesn’t get it. Even though I work as hard as everyone else and want it as much as everyone else…it doesn’t matter. I fail. Everyone else is happy and planning their new life in Japan, but I have to stay here because I did something stupid on the day.
Why do I always to something stupid? Or weird? Especially in important situations.
I can’t let that happen this time.
But I don’t know how.
I think I need a REALLY amazing suit…

If I can give you an advice, try to make it look that going to Japan won’t only benefit you, but make it look like you’re the one thing they’ve been missing and that without you the world will end. (ok, I’m exaggerating, but you get the idea.) That’s the best way to do it. Look confident, smile, answer their questions, make it look like this is not just about teaching English but also about two cultures getting to know each other… In other words, bullshit as much as you can.
Btw, is there a country in Europe you haven’t been to??? o.O

That’s good advice, thanks!
And I got an amazing suit. I’d hire anybody who wore this suit. It is literally the King of Suits!
As for the travelling…I didn’t mean to (place)name-drop!
But travelling is pretty cheap in Europe, it’s easy to go anywhere. And I have to travel to do kendo because there’s not much happening on my small island!

When we take such a important exam,I think we should be brash self-confidence to some extent!
“What a precious person I am! ”
“What a special person I am!”
“If I won`t be chosen,it`s great loss of them!”
Every time I take big exam,I have chanted these! haha!
As for you,I`m not worried at all. I`m sure you`ll do a “nice work”!!
