It's over.

AFS Japan has canceled the Spring 2011 program. FML.
I've been crying for the past hour. There's the option of going for the semester in August. This is NOT happening. FML. Why me?? I didn't even get a chance to go yet...

  1. I am so sorry for you.
    I am with YFU, and I have yet to receive a message, but seeing that AFS got cancelled, there is a very big chance ours will too. This is not fair ;_;

  4. I'm sorry to hear about this. I'm awaiting to hear back from YFU on my summer exchange to Japan. (I just got a similar first letter like *Postponed* but not exactly..) & it's a really rocky boat now for everyone that I see AFS isn't allowing the Spring people to go to Japan. u ___u It's really sad, I really wanted you to go now too so I could read about it! But everything happens for a reason (even if you cant see it now) & things will turn out for the best!
    Why can't you just stay a Year in August? like from Aug 11 till June/July 12.?
    Keep your head up ! :D

  5. I want to, but they don't offer that program in the US and most other countries, but a bunch of us are gonna write letters and try to make them make an exception for us.

  6. I wonder if the people who have lost their families are crying as much.

    Sure it was a missed chance, and it must be disappointing, but you have to understand why it's canceled.

  7. @Anonymous: No, it's not as bad as losing a family member and of course I understand why it's canceled, but having your dreams lost still hurts a lot :/ Please don't even play that card. Seriously. -_-

  8. Also @ Anonymous: Don't think I don't care about the people in Japan. Of course I know I'm being selfish for still wanting to go after all this has happened. Watching the news makes me cry and I want to help in anyway I can, but I know I can't really do anything other than donate...It doesn't mean I still can't be sad that I can't go on exchange. Part of the reason I am so sad is *because* of what's going on and the thousand's of people homeless and the thousands that died. Everyday I think of how these people must be suffering, and I wish they didn't have to go through this. It's truly just awful. Please don't post those kinds of comments without even knowing how I honestly feel.

  9. Also, (I just edit this in but blogger doesn't have that option) You have NO idea how I feel right now. I've wanted this for years, and just to have it taken suddenly, just hurts a lot, you're not in my position so don't tell me I shouldn't be this upset because my dreams were just crushed. >:( Hmpf.
