SASE Received


I just wanted to post that I have received my SASE back, which means they have started through the apps received on the second to last day, possibly last day. So to people still stressing about not getting it back yet, they are still coming and they still aren't that important ^_^

For people stressing out, DON'T ^_^ Find something to do, find a hobby or practice your Japanese or watch Supernatural and talk to me about it. Just, do something, not stress. JET is a waiting game, there is still so much time left and you don't want to wear yourself out freaking out about this stuff.

Good luck everyone!

Waiting and Waiting and I Don't Really Have Anything to Say

So I see lots of people are receiving/have already long past received their SASEs, CONGRATS ^_^ That's awesome.

For anybody who has yet to receive their SASE, it isn't a big deal If you sent it in some fashion that gave you proof that it was signed for, then they have it. If you sent it USPS and have no proof, they probably still received it. Don't worry.

The SASE is literally nothing but a slip of paper with your name and ID number. Your ID number is also on your application. If you are one of the unfortunate people whose apps were weird and the number wasn't on the print out, you should be able to log into the app website and get your number from there (if memory serves me right). Getting your SASE back does not say that you did anything right other than put the SASE in the packet and they got your app. It doesn't say that you aren't disqualified because of a mistake, it doesn't say anything about your app. Just that the envelope with all your stuff made it to DC.

So please, no stress ^_^ It isn't a big deal. Keep your mind on other things, finals if you are in school, work, hobbies, whatever floats your boat. There is still SO much time before interviewees will even be announced, don't let the anxiety make the holiday season even more stressful!

People really need to stop stressing about the SASE it is no big deal, but whatever.... I have been enjoying Supernatural and looking for a job like crazy, but barely thinking about JET. I feel like I suck for basically never updating in a long time, but I had already gotten my advice out there early on and didn't have much left and once apps start, it's just a doing not a planning... Now it's waiting and waiting on the interview list and maybe once that comes out I will hunt for some interview advice...

Anyway, have a nice holiday season everyone ^_^ Don't stress too much!
