"I will write peace on your wings and you will fly all over the world."
-Sadako Sasaki
Packin' my bags--I'm off to Tokyo in January!
I opened my e-mail this morning, and what did I see?
"...we believe that you will be an ideal representative..."
"...great pleasure in offering you a position..."
"...great pleasure in offering you a position..."
I have been accepted as an Assistant Language Teacher of Interac.
OH. MY. GOLLY.
OH. MY. GOLLY.
I cannot begin to describe the adrenaline rushing through me right now.
*barely-concealed squeak*
I'll be gone from the beginning of January until the end of March, unless my second application is accepted, in which case I'll stay until the middle of December.
Can you believe it?! I'm still trying to recover from the shock!
I'm going to Japan!!!
Congrats! ...I am NOT surprised...plan on December!

ReplyDeleteI remember how hard it was for me to let your Mom go off on a mission and it wasn’t as far away as Japan. I know you’ll love it but hard to think of you so far away! Love you—and am proud of all your accomplishments and sense of adventure though!!!
ReplyDeleteSuper Ashley! Didn't know how to write on here; Proud of you girl! Love you!!
ReplyDeleteWe'll miss you! (tear)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! I hope you have fun. Keep updates while you're over there?
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous I may puke and make a horrific mess. Then wallow in self pity and vomit whilst drowning myself in a mess of tears and clothing torn by my own tormented hands. :D
ReplyDeleteHave a BLAST!!! :D
ReplyDeletehey look at you! congratulations!
ReplyDeletehey that is so cool , you will do an amazing job !!
ReplyDeleteSince this is what you want, we are very happy for you. I hurt thinking you will be so far away but I know it is your hearts desire so I am happy for you.
ReplyDeleteAshley...you ROCK! The world is yours for the taking. Go get it. We are very excited for your new adventure. We will miss you (not that we get to see you very often now), but just knowing you're accessible is nice. Now we can't just drop in on you. I wish we could see you before you go, but just know how much we love you and hope this is everything you want it to be. Love, Oregon
ReplyDeleteThat is so great! You are amazing and will def have to keep us all posted from Japan. Exciting!!
