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.
