IES is turning down Nagoya applicants now? Whoa

I just got an e-mail from Chris telling me he was turned down from going to Nagoya. I was really surprised. I wasn’t expecting people to be turned down already.

My e-mail said I was offered provisional acceptance.

Provisional Acceptance is granted to IES Nagoya applicants whose applications have been recommended to Nanzan University for final review. You will be notified by mid-May of an official admissions decision once Nanzan University has completed their application review process. If your application is not accepted by Nanzan University you will be guaranteed admission to an IES Tokyo program, pending approval from your home college or university and completion of the IES Authorization and Evaluation form and fulfillment of the program language requirement.

Hmm… I can’t say I’m not happy that this actually means something but on the other hand I really hate knowing that other people have been turned down trying to do the same thing as me. I’m just not a dog eats dog kinda person.

KOI GOKORO (Heart in Love)

I can’t forget, heart in love
Never ever forget, heart in love

She always has milk tea at the coffee shop beside the station
And she talks about new shampoo and rinse and plans for school trip
I really want to talk to her, but it’s no good if she discover my boorish character

What should I do? The other girls came to interrupt, at this point, any idea would be great
Is this the so-called women’s intuition, I’m troubled, Sensei, very much!

Woo! When her mid-length hair swayed aside, I saw that she was in tears
What’s the matter (what’s the matter)? What’s happening with you, baby?
Even her tears are cute, I’d really like to know her better
Should I ask Matsumoto for advice?
But I’d probably be laughed at, so I’d better not!

What should I do, at this time, I can’t use school lessons as topic
Say, isn’t life hard, pretty hard, Sensei, very hard !
If possible, I’d like to dance with her, the two of us glittering in the shimmering lights
Even as I know that she seems to be fond of someone else

What should I do, about this love that won’t go smoothly,
At this point, I wish I could be more like an adult
Is this something that troubles everyone too, sensei (Sensei!)

Even though I don’t know when my best of friends will all drift away
Let’s laugh and sing for the time that will never return

I shall never forget that love
I didn’t cry even though the pain was knocking in the heart
Blurred hurried days when I run and bounce sweatily are here to stay even until now!

I can’t forget, heart in love
Never ever forget, heart in love
