An open ended ticket sounds like a good idea too me, I might need to consider doing that.
I am a studio art major and international track minor. Most of the classes I will be taking will hopefully fulfill my international track and maybe one of my core classes.
I am taking tea ceremony, calligraphy, international relations, japanese 1 and 2, japan culture,Wagashi (Japanese Confectionary), japan and United State relationship, and Japanese society.
I will still be having classes during the summer months as well, but that will be fine I dont have too many classes to have to worry about.
I was thinking about getting a job while I was there, the college that I go to provide jobs for exchange student. English related jobs however but that will be fine, as long as it does not take away from my travel time
