OMG my ERFS has arrived. 😱
(thought it would be at least next week considering my public uni's speed...)
Heading to the embassy next week.
Apparently it would still take some unknown(?) amount of time for the hotel quarantine arrangement to be confirmed.

@washiosumichan I was so bad at this waiting game so I honestly don't know what to say to make your feel better....but the truth is they will come to you, CoE, ERFs, visa...they might take time but they'll all come🫂.
@washiosumichan The waiting process is one of the most suffering, waiting for CoE, waiting for EFRS, waiting for visa, after all the traumatic experience with #japantravelban, literally every step of waiting came filled with uncertainty and emotional drama for me....
As I read through #japantravelban, I realize that some students are struggling with cost on quarantine.
For this aspect I'd like to express thanks to my university who decided to cover for our quarantine fee. I think more schools should consider aiding students on this.
@murasakinoyama Yeah I feel it's a bunch of people just making it "work" on the surface while ignoring the true problems. Gives you a sinking feeling if that's how they run higher-education.
Not answering your email is a big problem though! What even???
This might sound weird now that everyone seems to be getting ready to go to Japan😌, but I'm feeling so awful about my current situation and the coming semester that's only 2 weeks away.

Do I take a leave of absence or do I stay? Japan might be opening but one thing that hasn't change a bit about this whole messed-up experience is that it is still absolutely MISERABLE😮💨(for me at least).
Clock is ticking and I’m getting so much pressure about going back to zoom uni😱. It’s so frustrating to think I could possibly end up waiting for much more time(again!), waste another 1 or 2 months of the semester by barely surviving master-level university education online.
@nyukoku_news God it's like the adopted child trying not to steal birth child's thunder.
I lost my scholarship, can't even apply for this just because I don't have a Japanese bank account.
Intl students lost so much money and time due to #japantravelban. Didn't ask for compensation.
My uni has finally contacted me for the entering procedures.
They are working with a traveling agency and we need to first log our details onto their website. They will then start the application for our ERFS.
