I live in a small town outside of the melbourne metropolitan area. I guess you could say im in the country, but it is about 50-55km from melb.

I didn't find in my year living in Japan that leaving things behind was hard, I was only sad that my dog deteriorated in health due to cancer and i couldn't be there to help make the last months of his life happy. With communications the way they are these days, I actually talked to my family more while in Japan than I do when I'm here thanks to ichat and skype I could see them also.

The melbourne consulate has the list today, of course i couldn't get the result before everyone else. the letters are getting sent out this week, possibly it was done today. that all depends how much work it involved. Will know my result soon. At this point I just want a result so i can plan my next step. This time, as many JET hopefuls are saying on other forums, is the hardest time of the whole waiting time until now.
