Yesterday I spent the day traveling to and from Seattle. As you recall I had to make the trip to have my Visa interview with the Korean Consulate up there. The basica purpose of the interview is 1. to make sure I am in fact the person getting the Visa, and 2. simply to make sure that they are not allowing some crazy freak to run amok in their country. So seeing as how I passed both of those criteria, I assumed the interview would go smoothly. And it did. It wasn't all the formal, but I'm sure looking nice didn't dock me any points. The whole thing lasted about 10 or 15 minutes, where my interviewer asked me basic questions about my life, what I liked, what mand me sad, why I wanted to go to Korea. She was a very nice woman, and she said she liked me a lot, and that I seemed that I have a very adapting personality and that I would do great as a teacher. Shimmy! So I paid my $45 dollars for processing and $17.50 for them to send me my passport back (which I had to leave in their possession so thay could attach my Visa. Which means that both my Diploma and my passport are now in the hands of others) since I didn't really want tospend the time or the money to travel back up there and get it.

And now for the great news!! I told my recruiter that i should be recieving my Visa on Monday or Tuesday, and she's going to try to get me a flight out on Wednesday! Wednesday the 16th, as in five days from now! I know that's super soon, but seeing as how I should have already been tehre for about two weeks now, I was kind of expecting to leave at a moments notice. So, assuming everything goes as planned, I should be leaving the middle of next week! Exciting!!
