The Job

I love my kids (students that is - I am in no way a parent), I'm OK with where I'm living, and my apartment is amazingly awesome.

But I went ahead and applied to a job working on English scripts at a major video game company in Shinjuku. I don't know what I'll do if I get the job (though I don't think I will), but I doubt I could pass up the chance go work at a game company, at least for a year.

Anyway, I am (it appears to me anyway) well qualified for the job. Japanese language a plus, a few years of job experience, some work in writing and creative writing. I'm neither Japanese nor "American" (in the Japanese sense of the idea), so that's against me, but I am "American," in the actual sense of the idea so that might help me (along with my already having a visa).

I mailed the application yesterday, so it should get to Tokyo by Friday or Saturday at the latest.

Like I said, serious doubts about getting the job (especially with one of the grad school rejections I got via e-mail a few days ago - the University of Virginia Law school can suck it), but part of me can't help but be a little excited

I think it'll be an awesome experience and you're right to feel excited.
Which VG company is it btw?

You should be doubly happy for all the the geeks who would kill to be in your place.
 
Good Luck! :) Leak us some games if you get the job :P

Man, I really hope I work in a VG company when I get a bit older (I'm only 15 ;) ).

Japan would be a cool place to work in, different culture and all.

I learned a few Japanese phrases and words, going to school with the son of Japan's ambassador in Egypt :D
