I’m moving in about 2 months and I am driving myself crazy trying to get every scrap of information that will prepare me for the absolutely hellish first 2 weeks where I need to find an apartment, get a phone contract, set up my pension and residence and stuff again, but furniture, and get a job
I’m not scared or unsure of myself, I’m just nervous for no reason. the municipal government even offers free help with all this stuff… it’s just naturally intimidating I suppose. but I am inching closer and closer towards a better life
it might be that there are too many options. I narrowed down the train station I want to live at, finally, but there are hundreds of apartments in the area, and I’m not used to having so much choice. I need to stick to my guns: I want a loft apartment for no reason other than it would be cool and Sendai has like a million of them
I wonder what the work environment will be like… I really liked the strictness of Tokyo, but Sendai people are a bit different and I wonder if that will reflect in the workplace. also, I’m not sure if I should go back to my company, try a different dispatcher that has more popularity in Tohoku, or get a steady part-time job. whatever the case, I need one to support me while I take the exams for the real working visa
in any case, the quality of life seems really high. I won’t be able to spend as much as I did as an international student, but I’m sure I can still live well. furniture is expensive as hell though! I want to at least have a nice desk to draw with, though…
