I got a reply back from the assistant language teaching position I applied for and they have told me that the job is mine. There is an orientation and training day in two days time and then I think it is either the first or fourth of october that I start.

I was worried as at the end of the interview they told me they would send me the contract in the post. After reflection I didn`t know if they actually said they will contact me by post ie. We never want to hear from you again. As the school year ends in March and restarts April in this country with the long summer holiday still there I was worried. My visa expires in June and it would be valuable to have gotten six months experience by March so that I could apply to a decent school who would sponsor my visa onwards for good wages etc.

Anyway I got it and now I can. I reckon maybe I was the only one who applied for the job and so they were desperate and decided to give me a go. But it is a job with money so I don`t care. My own stash of cash ran out ages ago. The job is three days a week only but I get about 12 to 14000 yen a day teaching 35 twelve year olds. I think I will be more scared than they will.
