It’s true. My laptop took a juice bath on Tuesday. It’s still under warranty, so it will be replaced. I just have to wait for it to arrive. Oh Noes! Mah Datazzzzzz!!!!11one

Okay, so I just got back from DC and my JET interview. It actually went a lot better and was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I don’t know if that’s good or bad. I had two former JETs and a thirty-something Japanese guy. They asked a few questions about my interest in Shinto and Buddhism and then what I know about the Japanese school system. Then the Japanese guy asked what my favorite movie is. I said it was Stardust and then had to explain the plot because none of them had heard of it, or maybe that was the point. It’s a bit frustrating that I won’t know until April whether I’m going or not, but I think it’ll be worth it either way.
I kind of felt like I was saying the same thing over and over, but we’ll see what happens. It also really sucks that I’m sick and had to down Halls from 6-10am to keep from coughing during the interview. But it worked and I don’t think I sounded sick.
I got there really early and ended up having to drive around to find somewhere to go to the bathroom at around 8am. I got lost for a few minutes and then ended up parking outside the Hilton on Mass Ave to use their bathroom. When I got back I only had about a half hour to wait to go in and ended up crowded in with all the other interviewees for 20 minutes while the interviewers all had a meeting in the actual waiting room. It was cool though.
Anyway, I’ll update you guys on the situation in April.

Hokay, so, here’s my blog. It’s chillin’. Dang, that is a sweet blog you might say.
