Now, The Wait Begins

I have finished everything I need to for my application to Korea.  I have all of the paperwork, notarized and apostilled seal, and I have completed al the classes I needed to.  I have started up lists of supplies and clothes and I have started to check items off of my "to purchase" list and I am digging out all the stuff I already own.  It is not as easy as it seems to make a list of everything you will need for a e\year of your life, especially when what you really want to bring with you, you can't.

The lists are coming along slowly and I find myself adding things and taking things off over and over again.  So, I have stepped back from the lists and start up reading up on Korea.  I bought a few books on Korean life and on teaching in Korea and I'm working my way through them.  I also started poking around the internet for other info and current events.  Starting tomorrow, I will start up my Rosetta Stone program and try to pound through it each day.

Since the stress of paperwork is gone, I can start to focus on cooking and losing weight again.  I have stayed at my current weight for the last two weeks, but I have been working twelve hour days so time for working out has been kinda non existent.  Tomorrow starts a new week and a rework of priorities and schedule   Now that I work at 4:30 in the morning, running will have to happen after work or before bed.  I am thinking about changing my availability at work but I need hours and money in a bad way so I am holding off on that.

I know that this is dry and just informative, but I am kinda worn out and haven't really done anything fun for awhile.  I am going to the beach tomorrow with my mom and the pups, so I can write about that and post pictures.  I will also give a highlight reel of Summerfest in the next few days.  After I take some pictures of the new clothes I bought, I will post some pictures of that stuff too.  I think I will also make a list of some other topics I can talk about on here later this week, but I feel that self imposed topics are a little silly for a personal blog.  Not very personal.
