I'm currently 40 out of 109 (I think) according to Ms. Walton at State. Hopefully I'll cruise back down into the low thirties after the offers for October go out. I was planning on taking the Japanese test to boost my score, but I've sadly had to discontinue my Japanese lessons due to financial issues for the foreseeable future. I need to find some natives willing to do some free language exchange.
Anyhow, once I get my sealegs over the next couple of weeks I hope to post some more. For any readers, feel free to post any comments, questions, whatever, and I'll do my best to get back to you.

You should take a look at livemocha.

I have had some good success using it for Arabic.
There is a Japan-America society in Atlanta that does have some meet-ups where you can practice your Japanese http://www.jasgeorgia.org/
Having studied Mandarin for over four years, one of the best places I have found to practice when I'm back in the states is sharedtalk.com. It was created by rosetta stone for finding language partners. You can text chat and voice chat on there and of course add people to msn if you enjoy talking to them. Best of all it's free, considering the fact you lived in Japan for so long I think you will gain your skills back very fast, just need to put some time into it:)
