On a given day you may be feeling upset, but by the time your relatives receive your messages you may be in good spirits again. Remember that your friends and relatives will be very concerned about you and have little recourse from the United States to help you out at the time of difficulty, however willing they might be. For daily troubles, therefore, nearby friends are the best people to consult.<\/p>\n<p>If problems and inconveniences that you feel are significant enough to mention to your parents (by mail, email, SNS, or phone), please discuss it with the Director. The Middlebury office often receives calls from worried parents with valid concerns. If you have not communicated these concerns to the Director, however, the Middlebury office is unequipped to address your parents\u2019 concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Blogging is also a great way of updating all of your friends and relatives at the same time while also keeping a record of your experiences. School in Japan, therefore, will not regard blog entries written in English for your personal blogging as a violation of Pledge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please have your family and friends keep the following things in mind when mailing materials to you: All mail sent to the student should be mailed no later than two weeks before the end of the program.
