I have finally bounced back. After a day of mourning my sudden need for a change of plans, I have found an alternate route to making my dreams come true.
None of the other Exchange programs met my wants or interests so I have decided I will just make my OWN program! I have alot of contacts in Japan (my aunts family is Japanese as well as a couple friends of mine) and being a part of a church makes it even easier. I will find a family who would like to have me in their home (for a price of course) for about 4-6 months (depending on what I can afford) and then I will find a volunteer opportunity in the same neighborhood. Since I wanted so very badly to attend school then maybe I will call the director of the local public school and offer my time as a volunteer to come help in their english classes.
I do not know how my own program will compare (cost-wise) to the other program but today I will be discussing that with my Uncle and Aunt (my uncle frequently visits Japan and my Aunt IS Japanese)

Way to be proactive-seriously. You want something and you are doing the work to make it happen. I am impressed! P.S. a lot is two separate words. :)
