... Because I`ve just been offered a job teaching at a British University!! (long story, but this means I can work at a Japanese uni too) ... yay! ...
So ...don`t worry people! ... if you don`t get JET it really isn`t a big deal, better things can come up - try doing a TEFL, or go to Japan with one of the `big four` (er... not NOVA...)
Anyways, thanks to those of you who gave me advice and I wish all of you the best of luck - I`m off!!
