That's good that things are going well for you.

I'm not exactly stressing...more mildly concerned things won't get done. Still, I'll just apply next year if I can't get the app in on time. I want...

It's not expensive, but I'm miserly. Still, it does make me feel less grumpy if it's going to cost half as much to mail it registered. What's another $9? (Though it might be more—I checked the USPS...

It looks like people critiquing SOPs are wanting people to have at least 10 posts. Why not take part in some discussions so everyone can get to know you? People are way more inclined to do a favor...

I have way more employment history than volunteer history, so I listed my unpaid internships under the volunteer section. Unpaid internships seem like they could go either way. I'd use them wherever...

Ack. I've been super busy with work...and now the application date is sneaking up on me. I've barely looked at my SOP and only just asked my references for letters. At least I'm on top of transcript...

I'm not really stressing, just considering. I know I probably won't get any of them, but there's no point in leaving it blank, either. I'd rather do Inaka or Suburbs, and would prefer forests or...

I want to drive, so that's not my problem. I think I'd go crazy living somewhere rural without a car. I'm more concerned about ending up somewhere that stays above freezing indoors during the winter....

Well, I graduated in March '11, and the job in question was this time last year. Neither are exactly recent. My problem is that I'm self-employed. I'm a freelance photographer, so I have clients...

I took my first final in college while still slightly drunk from the night before. The professor pulled me aside after and told me I was the first person to ever get an A+ on one of his finals....

So... I think I'm actually going to apply this year. I've started my SOP, but have no idea who to ask for my second reference. I'm torn between asking a second professor or a previous boss. I have a...

Once I remember my paypal password I'll donate.

Maybe someone who helped organize it could put you in contact with him?

Squash juice? If I had seen it in America I feel like I would have bought/tried it for the novelty.

Hahaha! Yeah.... that'd get old.


(Obviously I'm way more impressed with this whole toilet tap phenomenon than I should...

Bummer. But even with just the flower it's cute, and it was cheap enough.

I couldn't imagine what a toilet tap flower could possibly be... so I googled.

If this is it,...

The other one was pretty much a discussion of key money/how much money to bring to Japan/ESID for the first couple pages, so maybe they didn't think it was a repeat?

I don't see the point in...

I just didn't want to ask before I had the form they'll have to fill out. I suppose if I send them last year's and let them know they'll have to fill out something pretty much identical to that, it...

lol You were doing your own stressing not too long ago if I recall.

And I'm not really stressed, just second guessing my decision to not talk to my references until after the app comes out. I'm...

I'm getting freaked out too. :/

I just moved across the country a couple months ago so all of my references are far away. Maybe I should at least call them with a head's up... damn you super...

Welcome Daisy!

I'm pretty awkward about stuff like that myself, but if you just lurk you'll never get involved. Just start reading threads. AG is pretty entertaining when you're bored.



If...

Even the moths are scary? Wtf Japan.

I guess I don't think pill bugs are scary/gross because they were fun to play with as a kid... if you poke them they roll up in a ball. They didn't kill or...

I can't help but hope you look like this.

Frogs are cute too! Although I had a friend who was terrified of balloons, so I guess in comparison butterflies and frogs are almost understandable.
