No, I'll stay for one year and do my master thesis there. It's not yet
absolutely certain, but I was told that so far, the applications from
our university were always successful.

However, the language issue is still a bit uncanny. I know my Japanese
isn't nearly good enough to hold a conversation even about trivial topics,
and I#m not sure whether I'll be able to get much better till I go.

That'd be a good idea. I just wonder where I'll get all the money...
