Goddess Carlie To Invade Japan
I haven’t talked about this at all here (in case I failed miserably), but I have hinted/talked about it at twitter, so if you have been following me there you may know what I’m talking about oh-so cryptically right now. That is, today I received a letter from the Brisbane Consulate of Japan to say I have been short-listed into the JET Programme. Or, in simpler terms… I’m going to Japan!!! As long I’m healthy and the criminal background check doesn’t dig deep enough to find my secret past, I will be flying over to Japan this August.
I’m sure that the next three and a bit months will go very slow but at the same time very quick. I plan to go all gung-ho with my Japanese study – mainly because I have a lot of excellent texts that I don’t want to lug with me to Japan!
I am looking forward to many exciting times in Japan.

WoOt! congrats Carlie. Looking forward to reading about your experiences.
I am still a few years off from applying for JET, I need to start working on that degree, but it’s so expensive.
I’m thrilled for you Carlie, and very proud. Looking forward to seeing you in May.

Awesome! I was in the JET program from 98-2000 and loved every minute of it (well, mostly).

Hi! I’m an American scrapbooker living in Japan. I am very excited for you that you will be here soon. There is a big scrapbooking expo in Osaka this fall – September I think. I sure wish I could find out more about it. Unfortunately, my Nihongo is not that good. Please share if you find out more, k?
Congratulations Carlie
You deserve it 
Hope we can meet up this coming year! 
Hooray! Congratulations!
