Soo much has happened, among working a bit i've been running around getting my last Hep B needle as well as a blood test [in the same arm on the same day!], going to get a filling and a general clean at the dentist, also booking appointments to get a chest xray and doctor appointments on my days off! Of course i also went down to brissy for my Orientation and have been dog-sitting!!!
I get tired just reading all of that!
So i went to the Orientation for Aiiu [the scholarship company i am going with] my mother came along with me. The day was split into two sessions, the first half was compulsory and the second half had some 07 returnees coming to talk about their experiences!
Nothing very special happened in the first session, it was basically a repeat of what i have in my orientation book i got with my acceptance letter. There are 7 kids including myself who got accepted in Queensland, everyone was really fun to talk to i wish we got to talk to each other a lot more though. A lot of us felt disheartened after the first session as they were basically telling us what we can and cannot do and what we have to make sure we do, however i got really psyched when the returnees came. The Returnees were all awesome and got us really excited on their stories about Japan.
So i managed to get a few words of info on my school and where i am going! I am going to be in the Tochigi Prefecture [which is close to Tokyo!!!! only 1hr by bullet train apparently!] and i am going to be attending Utsunomiya Bunsei Girl's High School, a littttle sad at not being able to meet real bishouen on a daily basis but this should prove waaay interesting since i've only been to co-ed schools before.
Anyway here is my Uniform, it's growing on me a bit but i think it would look waaay cuter if you could wear little Maroon Bows instead of those neck ties! Anyway while the uniforms look really wierd in that pic, on the school site the normal pictures of girl's in the uniform look muuuch better! Of course this is a private school [should prove veeery interesting]
Anyway i am going to be living in the Capital of Tochigi which is Utsunomiya! From what i have read the whole place seems pretty cool, especially since it's got this HUUUUGE shopping mall there!

Ja ne all!
