So I've just found out where I'm going for next year's Japan placement - Tokyo!
Chuo University, to be precise. I get to be in one of the biggest and most expensive cities in the world, and a view of Mount Fuji too! It's safe to say I'm excited. It's finally sunk in that this time next year I'll have been in Japan for over three months. It's the motivation I needed: now I'm gonna work really hard and do the best I can in my January exams. Ganbatte, self!
