Out of My Hands

My visa documents are officially in transit to Seoul. In fact, the package is hanging out in Anchorage, Alaska at this very moment (thanks fedex.com tracking).

It feels like such a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders now that I mailed everything. No more running around to state offices before closing, making copies or anything like that! I feel way more at ease knowing that there is no deadline looming or step in the process I need to get done. The package should arrive on Monday the 20th by 6pm. I think that is EST however, so Tuesday morning Korean time. From here I wait to get my visa number and make an appointment with the Korean Consulate in Boston for the final step. I also find out my school and start date when the documents arrive! That's what I'm most excited about. Soon I'll be able to tell people exactly where I will be teaching, what age level, and when I'm starting. This is so exciting.

My "USA Bucket List" is coming along nicely. Last night I hung out with some old friends that I've been wanting to reconnect with before I left. Its amazing how you can go so long without talking to some people yet hanging out sporadically is one of the best nights you have in a while. I've also been eating a whole lot of Mexican food. Quesadillas, tacos, burritos...all the things that i won't be able to get (for a reasonable price and authentic taste) in Korea. I also had a Philly Cheesesteak the other night. You can't get more American than that.
