Progress!

Had my phone interview with Kellan on Friday morning, and found out that it was actually part 2; the last phone call was part 1, which accounted for why the Friday phone call was so brief. I was asked a few questions about what I expected from being an ALT, how much money I would be able to save up, and if I was worried about culture shock. He also asked about any teaching experience I'd had. I then asked some questions of my own for peace of mind's sake, and he answered them to my satisfaction. :3

Before I knew it he was talking to me about going to the seminar at the end of September and what I'd need to have prepared for it.

I'd been reading/hearing that people would wait as much as 2 weeks to find out about that, and I got an invite right in the middle of my phone call.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

In other news I'm having a slight hiccup with my graduation requirements for this semester; my professor isn't getting back to me on whether or not I can take a particular class to fulfill my elective requirement. She'd said she would approve it but I would like it in writing, yanno? And she did tell me to e-mail her about it.
The reason for the issue is because I'd basically have to wake up at 4:30 AM to get to school in time for a 10:00 AM class 25 miles away, simply because of traffic in my area and the parking problem at school. Absolutely ridiculous. Unfortunately there are only 2 electives offered this semester that I haven't taken yet, and I need 3 total. In theory I can take a class that's not officially a qualifying class, but I need her approval for it. Here's hoping.

That's all for now!

*edit to add* Squee Janine's applying, too X3 Hopefully they call her :D
