live in japan

So I have an account on the Japanese equivelant of Myspace, Mixi.jp. Not too long ago, I started hanging out with an awesome guy from the states I met on mixi that just moved back home to the Northwest from Japan. So he’s fluent in Japanese, and lived there for two years, and is helping me to keep motivated… and introducing me to other fluent Japanese speakers.

So the plan now is, enroll in SCCC in the fall for 08, study for two years to get an AA, and then transfer to a state college like the UW or Western, and sign up for a transfer program in Japan. Oi.

I want to go to Japan to go to a language school, and become fluent. My plan is to live there for at least one year.
This is really a big chunk of stuff.
