I found out some of my placement details finally! And, when I say finally, I am very lucky. My shortened time frame means that I didn't wait a month or more to find out YAY ME!
I am a prefectural JET in Hiroshima, which I have already mentioned. My more specific details are that I will be an ALT in Onomichi primarily. I will spend three days a week at Onomichi Commercial High School, working with 2nd years. I will also spend one day each week at two other schools, Setoda High School and Innoshima High School.
The area seems lovely. There are lots of shrines and temples and some nice walks. It is right by the water and two of my schools are on little islands. I will probably need a car, I believe, but it shouldn't be too bad, plus my apartment's rent is cheap. I have lucked out a LOT because there are teacher's apartments involved and my rent will only be about 10,000 yen! It's probably going to be small, but that's okay, cheap and tiny is better than expensive and big (or expensive and small).
Things seem really great so far!
This is a blog to chronicle my experiences in applying for JET: the stress, the tips, the things I'm changing, the things I'm doing and everything else. If, really when, I finally get in, this will become my blog about my experiences in the JET Program. But, for now, this will be somewhere to go through advice, create advice, and leave a detailed trail about applying for JET. Hopefully this helps me with my current application and helps future applicants!

Placement Info!!!
I just realized that I forgot to update that I received my placement! I am a Hiroshima-ken ALT ^_^ So, I am a prefectural JET! However, I have yet to be contacted by a predecessor and, as I have yet to get home, I haven't seen if I have any further information in my mailbox. But, HIROSHIMA WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
