Perhaps my last post might have been a bit scathing, if not unfair. Still, I do believe that a Japan trip is still possible. All that is needed are some concrete details, especially on the price side. Giving a maximum price isn't a good way to gauge interest, and the actual price is needed. Also some alumni members are interested to go, so it's a matter of the school allowing that, which, quite frankly, i see no reason why not.

Of course, I'm not going to come off looking good. If I keep pushing for it the way I have been, I'll probably be labelled some deranged psychotic troublemaker who just refuses to quit. Perhaps I should. I've already got people talking behind my back anyway. But then I believe that I'm not the only person in the batch who wants this trip, and who never had and probably never will have such a chance. There's nothing to lose for the half of the band that doesn't want to go, but for the half that does, there's much to lose if we don't. It's not going to be easy, but if I wanted an easy job I would have joined the Red Cross.
