Delivery!

I just checked the status for my documents....

As of 9:42AM Monday the 20th (8:42PM Sunday the 19th in RI) my package was loaded onto the FedEx vehicle for delivery! I should be expecting an email from Carrie saying that she received it. Placement here I come!

My bucket list is going great. Charlsey and I got fondue yesterday at the Melting Pot. Two words: Cheesey Goodness. One of the best meals I've had in a long time. The dinner menu tonight consisted of a Philly Cheesesteak and some fries. Definitely American, definitely delicious.

More importantly, I hit the Korean book hard today. My Teach Yourself book had me writing some dialogues, translating sentences then structuring them into the Korean form...even reading a waiter's note slip and translating the order from Hangul script to romanized from to English. The next chapter dealth with introductions and some nitty gritty grammar. I forsee this being the hardest part. That and the vocabulary. So I guess basically everything. Learning a language by yourself with just a book and a couple of CD's is a HUGE challenge. A challenge that I embrace with open arms. Just learning a language is a big deal, but being self taught how to communicate with an entire population of people is mind blowing. As hard as it is to press on, the outcome will be extremely worth it.
