So December flew by SOOO fast. Work was extremely slow for the first couple of weeks, but with the onset of holidays its been nuts around the hotel. 3 ski resorts within 15 minutes of town is just asking for trouble during school breaks. Everyone in Petoskey calls the week between Christmas and New Years "Hell week" and ladys and gentlemen....it's very well named. My internet time before today was like an hour or two in the last week one of which I used to post yesterday! So glad New Years is behind me now, it means business is going to slow back down and my days will be way less chaotic. Plus, my time left before I quit has now been cut in half. I'm going down to Florida sometime next week and visiting my grandparents for a few weeks before flying out to Japan. I can't wait. I haven't seen either of them since summer. Though I wont be posting the whole time I'm down there.
Speaking of Japan, when I emailed PKC about not working for them on the 11th of December I got a simple response of: "Thank You." Nothing else. Can you believe it? Nothing about what I needed to do or what was going to happen. I got an email from my "YAY!!" school on the 27th about my COE application. It seems the COE application from PKC out of the Nagoya immigration branch was never cancelled. That is 2 full weeks after I told them I wasn't going to work for them. So my new COE application from the Shiikoku branch couldn't begin processing my COE. Obviously one person can't get two COEs from two difference schools. Now leaving on Feb. 8th might be causing some problems. Since my new COE hasn't even been started (as immigration and PKC have been closed for the holidays)...that is a full month, plus then the time it takes to get it in the mail, and turning my COE into an instructer's visa at the embassy. All of which take time I am running out of!!! AHHH!
I did let "YAY" school know I want to visit Taiwan. So if I do run out of time I can have my COE mailed to a friends house in Japan I am already planning on visiting before going to the Yuki Matsuri up in Sapporo on the 12th and 13th. If I have to do that I'll fly right out of Sapporo to Taipei, visit my 2 Taiwanese friends that have been wanting me to visit while my Visa processes, and then fly back into Tokyo in time to catch my already booked flight to Tokushima to start work. Hopefully everything works out. *fingers crossed everybody!*
