I did it.

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!
