I filled out nine pages of bureaucratic Japanese nonsense, rewrote my entire CV in my 3rd language, formatted to the university's exacting specifications, and went through all the processes at the post office to have it sent by registered mail.

It has been a two week project because professor/university applications are stress tests designed to break you.

Let's hope that something good comes of this. I could use a major life change.

Anyone I could boast to is a coworker (that's how socializing kinda winds up going here) and I don't want them to know I'm on the way out the door. So you guys get it instead.

Let's go! 💪

Admin and paperwork in general are my kryptonite, I understand, lol. Well done, hopefully you get some good news soon!

RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
