It's all getting rather real. I'm back from Albania, crash landed into Summerholme on monday morning and launched straight off to the JET orientation in London for 2 days.
From being an occasional presence in my thoughts, living in Japan for one year is making it's presence known in the forefront of my mind all the time now. It's getting closer. I slightly freak out when I think about it sometimes. What concerns me to a higher level is not living in Japan (though not being able to read the written script is obviously a concerning issue!) but the fact I will be living alone. I hope I'll manage to stay sane. I generally need other people to stay sane in my experience.
Sometimes I think it is my personal challenge to get through this next year. And then other times I remind myself. It is more than that. I did, do want to go to Japan. I had, have lots of positive reasons for going to live in such a crazy country. That it is so different from the UK for one.
I’ll be living in Hitachi City. It has to be said, I am not phenomenally optimistic about having Hitachi as a home town. You wouldn’t pick the home of electronics giant, Hitachi, in Japan’s industrial heartland as first choice. But, I didn’t make choices. I was open. And I will go with an open mind. It’s better to be positively surprised by aspects of Hitachi than the other way around.
Gaaa! It’s coming!
