My Certificate of Eligibility has arrived at the post office. They called to tell me that I can either pick it up today, or they will deliver it tomorrow. I am foolishly excited. I'll be down in Atlanta either today or tomorrow. I'll film the happenings and post it.
Yay! My next blog will probably be from Japan (might be a little while though). Stay tuned!

Yay! Going To Japan!
So I was informed today that the letter from the Dean has been sent, and my Certificate of Eligibility is on it's way here. I'm going to get it, run down to Atlanta (GA), grab my VISA, and then I'll be off to Japan.
I'm happy and excited. Even though it's 4:20am, I'm wide awake because I just read that email. Yay! I'm actually going to go! My family has been trying to keep me down to earth by saying that "maybe you wont get to go," especially my mom since I'll be so far away, but "confidence begets confidence" (from a fortune cookie), and I held onto every ounce of hope and it feels like I might actually be going. Yay!
I'll probably post a video before I leave, just to say "Yo, what's up. I'M GOING TO JAPAN!" I'll answer any questions, if you have any. PrinceAriketh(at)gmail.com

Biggest Issue Thus Far
So I've been having some issues recently, specifically with getting my VISA, so let me give you a rundown of exactly what has gone on.
So the head university in the partnership held my application for a little bit longer than expected, but it eventually made it's way to my choice about the end of January. We've all been working hard to get myself and the other student to Japan, but my adviser has been less than helpful.
Everything was fine until we found out that the Dean of my college had yet to write me a letter. After about 2 weeks of myself, my Japanese teacher, and my Study Abroad adviser trying to get him to write me one, my Study Abroad adviser wrote one for me, but I need one from the Dean of my college when I get to Japan.
On top of this, I have been studying and hard at work on some personal projects. The projects are mostly just game ideas that I have and I work on them until I run out of stuff to work on.
Remember: if you have any questions, email me at PrinceAriketh(at)gmail.com and I'll respond on here.
