Well I've moved into Ayuko's place as of now and they are currently remodeling my bedroom and bathroom into like a deluxe suite. I'll have a tv in my bathroom as well as a huge bedroom and my own kitchen. All this plus food, electricity, internet, rent, EVERYTHING for only 20,000 yen a month or roughly $180 US. Ridiculous. This living situation means not only that I will save hundreds of dollars every month, but also that if NOVA does go bankrupt I'll have plenty of time to find another job. Speaking of other jobs I had the second of three possible interviews with Berlitz, another big English school, today and if all goes well I'll have a final interview sometime in the next week or so. However there are about 100 people applying for 5 jobs, so needless to say the odds are against me. I think the cliched saying of you miss 100% of the shots you never take applies here, so we'll see how things go. I'll put up pictures as soon as my room is complete. Still rather stressed as to the whole job situation, but hopefully things will work out. Gambaru!
