A Girl Without a Plan
It was really nice of JET to send me a letter while I was relaxing on a Tuesday night. I had only one fear. I didn't fear not getting into the program and I certainly didn't fear GETTING in. What I feared was being stuck in limbo. I was placed on he alternate list. The alternate list basically means that I am somewhere on a list of people who may or may not be asked to come to Japan if one of the truly desired people quits or dies. If I keep myself on the alternate list they can call me any time between now and December and tell me that I'm leaving for Japan. They can give me from a day to a months time to sort my life out before I leave. I would have the pleasure of not being able to move or get a steady job in hopes that I will be in Japan some time in the next 6 months (since the starting date of the program... for the winners... is July 25th.) As appealing as that sounds, I will have to pass.

I got placed on the alternate list too. I never thought about what would happen if I signed a lease on a new apartment and then I got upgraded. That's a good point. I told myself I would not accept an upgrade anytime after the initial shortlist people go to orientation in Tokyo.
