Okay, Here We Go!

I have spent the last three days franticly gathering all of my paperwork and payments into a pile to send off with a courier service tomorrow, straight to Korea.  I signed the contract and all the other things that I had to sign and have it all in a stack on my desk waiting for the address to send it too.  This pile contains:

1. The contract, signed and dated
2. Two apostille sealed copies of my diploma
3. Two passport photos
4. My FBI criminal check, apostille sealed
5. One copy of my resume
6. One photocopy of the first page of my passport, signed
7. One completed self health check

After this arrives in Korea it will go through processing and i will get back my visa insurance number, a task which should take about a week.  When I get this al back, I will head to my local Korean Consulate with this number and money for fees and my passport and an application and pray that my visa is accepted.  Then it is Auf Wiedersehen to america and Guten Tag to Korea.

While my paperwork is traveling the globe, I will be here franticly packing up everything I think I will need, or that I have been told to bring along and figuring out the whole baggage system for all the possible airlines I could fly on so I make sure my fees are not outrageous. I have decided to give in a buy a new Ipod Classic because it has enough battery life to last the whole flight and I can get all of my music on to it.  I think I may also invest in some new headphones.  I need to pick up some gifts for my students and for the director of the school and well as some stuff to help remind me of home.  

I am heading back to Platteville one last ime this weekend to say goodbye to Jess and to pick up some more things for work at the goodwill.  Later this week I will update you on changing companies, fright fest, and making salsa!
