I don't know if I really have to drive a car when I trip to the US next month,
but I got an international driving permit today... JUST IN CASE! lol
Because I'll be traveling around by myself and one of the schools that I'm planning to visit is in a rural area.
Public transportation is limited then buses are barely available there.
Well... I never think I'm good at driving even in Japan so I'll try to wait and catch buses.
so... this is a just-in-case license for me. :-)
Because I've been preparing for my applications and trip, I've got a lot of documents that I don't usually see.
For example, bank statements which shows how much I got, high school transcripts...
Speaking of transcript, I can't ask my high school to issue my grades any more because of the law. They can issue a document to prove my graduation, but they no longer keep my grades, exam results or the other academic records.
I asked my high school to write an official letter about it so I can explain the situation to the admissions. Then I talked to the admissions and they said the letter might work. I hope my documents will be acceptable!
Schools used to keep the grades for 20 years but the law changed the system. The term for keeping the grades is only for 5 years, they say.
My graduation was in 1997... 14 years ago! lol
Yeah, it is too late for the system! ha!
But I wonder why. Is this for the Personal Information Protection or something?
Hmm... this is not educationally supportive for people who want to return to learning like me!
