Are we going to make a gang? Like, we'll be sitting in the back of the class, shooting spit balls?

Like, we'll be sitting in the back of the class, shooting spit balls? .....................................I don't think you know me very well (...I'll never be cool T_T) I'm the whitest girl ever. And yet, I have personas (bestowed upon me by my American taiko group). One is Maggie G. You might meet her when she is slightly drunk. Another is a duo I do with another girl called Negative + Negative = Positive Swag! (which makes no sense in math, but that's the point!) You just have to fake it to make it.

My persona is like... Marge Simpson or the nerd from The Breakfast Club or Neville Longbottom in the earlier books or someone else like that.
I'm that person in films/books who says something like "I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A GOOD IDEA, EVERYONE" throughout the adventure.

Hence, another nickname - Mama Maggie. I'll shake that swag out of ゆぅぅぅぅううううぅうう!

I learned today that I'll be there, too. It's a bit of a surprise as with tech. issues with interpretation I didn't even get to the translation part before time ran out.

Long time no post but I'll be there too! Time to re-schedule 4 kindergarten visits 'cause I won't be in town, baby~
I can't believe I took the test so seriously it looks like they only cut like 20 people hue. And they cut the number down LESS than the pre-determined number of spots, so those 20 people must have done reaaaaaally poorly o.o;

Yeah, I saw that. I was surprised so few people even applied for the course... It was barely over the cutoff number.

They 回覧'd a paper that included them, although it wasn't on the paper I got to keep. I think it was... 156 applicants and 137 accepted or something like that.

Also, I just realized that it's gonna be a headache for me to get there. Like 6 hour ride on trains with 4 different 乗り換え when I looked up last year's schedule.

They shouldn't differentiate between CIRs/ALTs (again I am almost 100% sure they just do it by score) because the course is for JETs as a whole, even if it may seem more relevant for CIRs. It's probably more likely that the bottom of the list were ALTs, but not necessarily.

Some of them are...not. *Also applies to CIRs and humans in general

I know an ALT who got in. They probably just had a minimum score you needed to pass.
I will undoubtedly be flying. If I take the shinkansen it would be a bit over 5 hours according to Google, which actually isn't that bad. But a hell of a lot more expensive than flying probably...

We don't have a shinkansen in Large Part In the loos at Bear Origin Station I saw an advert for shinkansen tickets to Osaka and I felt so jealous.

Only reason I took the trains is because JLPT was on the same day and I couldn't make the flight. You should have the option to fly if you want.

A shinkansen station was a large part of the reason I was excited to move here.
I used to live in the part of Japan with the largest population that also didn't have a train.
Outside of Okinawa, anyway.
