Updates, AFS Contact, Tough Times

So I know I haven't updated this one recently.
Not too much has gone on.

JLSC is going okay. My class had a presentation and we all got to introduce ourselves in front of all the Japanese parents there. Very fun and interesting :)
And I guess since a I am a bit more advanced than those in the class, me and two other good students were chosen to INTERVIEW some of the parents! It was fun.
And good practice with my Japanese.

I love JLSC so much. It is such a good refresher.

Japanese tutoring is going well. We are getting near the end of my first book!
WOOT!
Although I really need to find time to study more.
I have begun to work on kanji though.
....-.- ahh kanij. The bane of my existence. But it's coming along. And I am trying to put all the resources I have had at my disposal for a while now to good use.

I visit a forum frequently lately. I love it and all the people from Japan 2010-2011~ I love you guys!!!!
lol
So anyways. It has just been a great support system for me I think. And I love being able to really talk to people who understand how nerve-wracking it is with waiting and how terrifying that can be. But it is also a great way to connect with people. And I have made so many new friends. They are some of the awesomest people I have never met.
lol

Now...On to afs matters.
Lately AFS has become an annoyance to me.
You all will recall, or maybe not I don't know if I put it on here, that I was accepted by AFS USA in August. August 4 to be exact. I had sent my application in very early and panicked to get my interview done as soon as possible. All this to not only get my application in early but to also get it in before my deadline for my scholarship. I had HOPED that I would get some information very soon.
Unfortunately this has not been the case.
I have hit the 3 month mark for waiting for Japan to contact me (about acceptance since mot of you know about the TB thing). This I wouldn't mind so much, I was told it might take a while, if I didn't see other people who sent their applications in after me getting acceptence before me.
I am genuinely happy for them to be sure, this is one of those things where you just hope and pray for each other like you would never have hoped and prayed before. But What I don't understand is, having gotten my appliation in so early, much earlier than when they would start looking at them, one would think I would get information back by now about acceptance. And my advisor said it was a very good looking application.
So I have no idea what is going on with that. But I hope I get some positive news back soon.
This is making me even more uncomforatable every extra day i have to worry about it.

On my Advisor.
Maybe she is sick, maybe she is not in or something, but recently I feel like she has just not been there for me.
For some reason she has suddenly decided to fall off the face of the world. After attempts to get in contact with her I don't know what else to do. She has been such a great help through out this entire thing so far. Gives me good answers, gets back to me quick, but it has been 2 weeks not since we have spoken.
I recently sent an email to my local volunteer. She said she will do what she can. We'll see what happens with that. I had emailed her on Friday so there wasn't much to be able to do then.
But like I said. We will see.

Well..
Not much else. Just living life. Getting by. Trying not to think about negatives with this whole AFS matter.
Maybe it is just taking a long time but....whatever.

Anywho,
Thanks for reading, I'll post when I get more news.
