MEXT Scholarship 2012
Index » JLPT, Jobs & College in Japan
I'm not applying, but one of my friends who I met in Japan is (we have both gone home to our respective countries now). She is applying for her master's degree though. From what she was telling me, the application process was long and painful, and needed documents in both English and Japanese, including thesis and study plans etc. Not to mention she has had so much trouble with her university giving her the required documents on time. She is now cramming academic/business/JLPT1 level Japanese in order to do well on the Japanese exam she has coming up as part of the application. Luckily her English is really good, so she doesn't have to worry about that 
I would have liked to applied, but seeing as I only graduated at the beginning of this month, going into postgrad study, even if it is in Japan, is just way too daunting at the moment.

And damn, it felt good to do some exams for the first time in 8 months or so.
WHAT!!! Are you crazy? 
No just kidding - sometimes you need an exam or something to keeo the motivation up. Good luck with it, I hope everything turns out ok. I'd like to apply sometime in the not so distant future, but I think I should probably work for a little bit first (although going on a MEXT scholarship would be x10 better...)

Yippee! I passed the exams
Now I have an interview in a week or two. Unfortunately I'll need to fork out $200 or so in travel expenses to attend the interview in Melbourne

Got back from Melbourne yesterday. Caught the early morning train there on Monday morning, stayed a night, then came back on an overnight bus the next day. 22 hours travelling time
The interview went really well, I think I'll get recommended.
