The pain of communicational problems...

I finally sent the last papers to Japan last Thusrday. They were a bit tricky, with all the blood types and evidence of financial ability to support oneself. And I had to send 7 passport size photos with the papers. But now it's all done and I'll just have to wait! The whole summer to go... I'm dreaming of Japan already ^_^ Now I'll just concentrate on working, so I'll have enough money to spend.

Finding out the lesson hours and credits from Japan was a real hassle. I tried asking about them several times, but they didn't really give me a decent response, because it depends so much of what I'll choose when I get there. But I needed to show at least some sort of a lesson plan to my supervisors, so I basically wrote them on my own from the examples Mr. Rodgers gave me. The courses in Kyoto Seika University last for the whole semester (or so I've understood), so it's easy to count the lesson hours, but the thing is that some of the courses also have studio hours. I never found out the details about the studio hours, so I had to partly make them up... But our international officer said a very rough plan is ok, so I'll just trust her, even though I feel a bit uneasy about it.

Now I've also tweaked the website around enough so that I think I'll be satisfied with it. I'm not sure if I'm going to change the background colour one more time, but otherwise I think it's okay.
