Visa extension

So my boss came into the head office today (normally I work there by myself) and we got a chance to chat. I was pleased to learn that my company will in fact be extending my visa for at least another year. He wouldn't commit to extending my contract yet though. Sounds like I've got some potential for future contracts as well, although we haven't secured them yet. Time to get cracking on my Japanese studies, which I've been woefully truant from.
