Mito it Is

Well, after quite a bit of waiting, it turns out that I will be in Mito, Ibaraki Prefecture. This was the one I preferred, as Yonezawa would have required a car and rotating between schools every two months. Mito, on the other hand, will only require a bicycle and I will be at the same school every day for the entire contract.

I will start on the 22nd of October after a week of training starting tomorrow. Tomorrow I will go up to Mito and sign for the apartment and the contract for the job and stay the night at a hotel. Friday I will move into my apartment and visit an Elementary school English class so I can have an idea of what my students will already know. Next week's schedule was a little more uncertain other than work beginning on Friday, so I will post about it later when I know more. I may or may not have to wait for internet access to be set up in my apartment, so I'm unsure if I will be out of contact or not for the first week or so, but I'll try to find an internet cafe if so.

In any case, I'm looking forward to having my own place for the first time, as well as my first full time job. As for now, I need to finish packing and run a few errands to get ready for tomorrow. Now I'm off to the post office to use their ATM. 'Til next time.
