Information booklet on Aichi Shukutoku Daigaku, the university i will be attending next year and today i found out that the University has committed to sending me to this University. 

 However,
Still much work to do as the application to the University still needs to be complete which includes medical, academic and financial information that will help the ASD (Aichi Shikutoku Daigaku) in their decision whether to accept me to study there. Also visas flights and accommodation shall need to be sorted out at some point. Hoping to meet with my Japanese teacher Yuko Kinoshita to discuss how best to fill out the application.

Chatting to my previous host families has made me very excited for my trip also as i'm looking forward to seeing them again.

Trying to focus on going well this semester as that is my main goal. All psychology subjects in the hope that i will be able to finish my degree shortly after returning home from Japan. 

Take care ,
Belinda

Brand new blog.

Welcome to my Japan 2014 blog everyone. :)

This is where i shall be posting my news and discoveries during my time in Japan however it shall also contain news of my preparation for the trip.

Today i met my "buddy" from Japan who i will be spending o-week with. Her name is Nanami and she is from Hamamatsu which is about 3 hours from Nagoya which is right next to the seaside and her University is Sugiyama Jogakuen University. Nanami is an amazingly friendly person and i'm glad she is my partner. Her English is phenomenal and so i was able to relax and only had to use my
Japanese for place names and item names that are not found in English.

Chatting with Nanami has made me really excited for my trip to Japan no matter where i end up.Just remembering how much i loved living in Japan, my wonderful families and friends along with how my learning of the language was accelerated.

うれしがる
