Japan

To Update all people who are interested:

I graduate in December of this year (3 months from now!) Anyone in the Edmond/OKC area that knows me is more than welcome to come!

What am I doing after graduation?
Good question. Right now, I am planning on applying to be an AET (Assistant English Teacher) in Japan. Want more information? I will be assisting an english teacher in a Japan school -- while getting paid! I'm basically hired by the Japanese government, and they pay $30,000 for a year's contract (about 10 months) -- TAX FREE! They pay for an apartment, airfare and vacation in October and January. I work in a classroom from 8am-5pm M-F. 

Why Japan? Why AET? How long will you be gone?
If I do two full contracts (20 months) I will most likely pay off all my loans for school. It would be fabulous to return to the USA after a couple years fresh and renewed from debts! The AET Program allows me to do this -- more than any other english teaching program. And if I do get accepted, I will be gone from Aug. 2009-June/July 2011. 

**Want more details?**
Please be praying for me as I apply for this position. Undergraduates all over different Christian campuses apply for this position, and I won't find out anything until January 1st. Please keep me in your prayers as I begin a long process of figuring out what to do with my life. Thanks!
