ladibug21I just read a fellow Live Journal user's list of fears about coming to Japan. She made this list before she left and reflected on it after her arrival. I must do the same!
1. I fear I will not make any friends. In connection with that, I'm afraid that teaching will be so draining that all I will want to do is go home after work every day, which will keep me from meeting anyone interesting.
2. I will not date anyone while I'm in Japan.
3. Everyone will think I'm a gigantic, pale, fat american.
4. My lack of Japanese speaking skills will make things much more difficult for me.
5. I will sweat profusely and be uncomfortable every day. I will hate wearing suits.
6. My boss will be really mean and/or overbearing.
7. I won't be able to find a way to exercise regularly and will gain tons of weight.
8. I will be a bad teacher.
9. My students will hate me.
10. I won't like Tajimi or my neighborhood will be in some ugly industrial area.
11. I will go home early because I'm homesick.
12. I will be hungry a lot.
