Hey!

I've been working on my application for the past week or so. I guess I need to fill you in on that!

Kansai eventually sent us the link to K-GENESYS (it does indeed exist) it's really nice and efficient. About half of it is filled online, and the other half is a series of documents that you print, fill out, and mail to Kansai Gaidai. My study abroad office offered to mail them for me. yay! According to the timeline, My app was supposed to be turned in 2 weeks ago, but we're okay on time I think.

I ordered my plane ticket yesterday morning. I will be flying alone to Japan. It's unfortunate, but it had to be. Megan and Blaine got their airfare paid for with miles which is awesome! But...they must fly through Guam and that flight would have been $2400 for me. That's too much.

I will be flying from Tulsa to Houston, then to Narita, then to Kansai International. The return trip is the same. All in all, the airfare was about $1400. Not bad at all, and cheaper than when I went in 2008 for sure (thank you cheap oil prices).

Should get my paper application completed and turned in Wednesday. Probably will receive the rest of my documents next week to wrap up the process. I go in for course equivalency on tomorrow, too. What classes do I want to take...
