I'm fairly certain I can change my flight (with a penalty charge) but I really don't want to because then nobody from the university will come meet me at the airport and help me find my way to the dormitory I'll be staying at... *sigh*
@hatredcopter: Do you think it would be possible to contact the immigration office and ask them if they can hurry up? I don't know if it'll do any good or not, but if there's a possibility it'll help then I'd certainly like to try.
And last time I talked to the consulate, the woman on the phone just kept saying that I can't go to Japan with just my passport, although I was wondering if it would be possible to just put all my visa stuff in an envelope and mail it to them from japan (once I get there), putting my American home address on the envelope? I can't see why there would be a problem (since I don't even know how long I'm going to stay anyway, though at minimum it's 90 days).
