That time has come at last - I have finally received confirmation that I have been accepted to Waseda University as an exchange student!
No more will I have to check my emails every couple of hours in the vain hope that the elusive email has arrived (although old habits die hard). No more will I have to bug the poor exchange people at the University every few weeks (somehow I think I will rid myself of this habit much more easily).

Now I need to start preparing everything for my exchange. That means picking up my acceptance bundle from the Uni, then booking airline tickets, organising a visa, working out classes, accommodation, and the like. It'll probably be a long and busy process, but anything is better than just sitting and waiting and checking Gmail Notifier!

In other news, I have finished all of my classes for the semester, and all that remain are a pesky essay and a few exams.
