I have on my desk a completed form stating my intent to re-contract with the JET program, thus extending my current contractual time in Japan to the summer of 2010.
Mainly, I'm interested in continuing what I have here, while at the same time figuring out what I'll do next.
Broadly, I know that I'm interested in going to grad school, but I have yet to decide upon a program I'd like to try to get in to.
A friend pointed me to a grad program in journalism at a well-known university in Tokyo, and for a moment I thought it might be an English curriculum, but upon inspection, only some classes are offered in English.
There remains no university in Japan which offers an English language graduate program that I currently think would be a good fit. I'd be interested in such a program because I've long been interested in doing journalism in Japan, and I'd be interested in a productive way to further my stay here.
But that may not be a realistic idea. So for now I shall enjoy my time here, along with some other more fleshed out goals. One is to finally take the Japanese Language Proficiency Test in December. Another is to do some freelance writing for one of the English language magazines in Japan.
With those goals on board, along with the usual routine of fun and work, I expect to have a good experience over the next several months.
Perhaps I'll give the blog some more attention ... perhaps.
