After weeks of refreshing my email, I finally received my long awaited JET Interview results on March 26th, 2018. Annnnnnddd....I am a JET ALT Alternate....which is good, but kind of gives me the feeling of studying my ass off day and night for an important exam and only getting a C grade. Although I am
good enough to pass, I'm not quite good enough to make the definite Shortlist. I mean, I can't complain since I wasn't outright rejected (thankfully) but...its hard for me to get excited about possibly spending the next 9 (!) months waiting for the email/call that could change my life. After months of waiting, I get to look forward to even more waiting. I feel like I am in the longest, most boring, and worst waiting room ever. AGHHHH!!!!!
🔥🔥🔥Welcome to JET Alternate Hell. 🔥🔥🔥
What do I do now? Well, I plan to wait as patiently as I possibly can. I will focus my attention on the following things to avoid thinking too hard about JET:
- turning in all required Alternate paperwork
- saving money
- graduating college
- paying down student loans
- relearning the Japanese I've forgotten
- finding a temporary job/internship
- debate when exactly I should give up on JET and accept my previous AEON job offer
- playing with my puppy
- spending time with my friends and family
- actually follow through on keeping up with this blog
- obsessively searching for any sign, hint or Blue's Clues on the internet that will tell me when/if I will be upgraded to JET Shortlist
Yep, these 9 months will go by quickly I'm sure. 👌
