Korea Looming....

I'm moving to Korea in 9 days! It's so strange how it came about so quickly but it feels completely natural at the same time. Basically, South Korea wanted to hire me and I have to go where the money is.

I just received a call from the owner and principal of my school. Her name is Linda and she is super, super friendly. I think I'm going to love her. My visa has been processed and she's sending me the number. That means that tomorrow I'm going to make an appointment with the Korean consulate. I'm leaving November 13th. I thought I was leaving the 15th so now I'm kind of freaking out. I just got light-headed and almost cried.

I know that this is going to be challenging in so many ways but I also know that I WANT to do this. Just....please excuse me if I'm emotional. I'm a big Mama's girl and I hate being separated from her. The upside to this anxiety is that my sister Ashley and I just cooked a pizza and I now have no desire to eat it. So the weight-loss begins NOW!

I'll be living in Ilsan, South Korea but teaching in Paju City which is about 30 minutes from my officetel. My school is called Oe Dae and I'll have 5-7 year olds in the morning and 10 year olds in the afternoon.

Wow. It's really happening....
