It is a week and a half until I head across the pacific to Japan. The checklist is pretty full right now, however my non-anxious behavior might not make that seem very apparent. The major piece of news right now is getting the work visa arranged. I just received my certificate of eligibility from the Orden Bunka Center (which is the school that I will be teaching at). I will be going into Portland on Monday to hand in my application materials and beg them to process it soon so that I will have my passport by July 8th. I guess it is kind of important to have a passport when traveling internationally : ) I don't think there should be any hangups, at least that is what I am hoping for.
In the mean time, I have been working some and just trying to enjoy my remaining time at home. I have been playing my electric bass quite a bit this summer and I am realizing how much I am going to miss having that musical outlet. I have debated about bringing my cello or even my bass with me, but that is still in question. Nevertheless, I will surly be interacting with music to some degree while I am there and should be coming home with some musical concoctions from Japan.
That's about it for now, things will be picking up soon though, say in about a week and a half.
