Visa Process Information

I woke up this morning and good news was in my hotmail inbox. The school had finally received my visa confirmation number and then passed it on to me. So, today I got the rest of my documents and money order in order to send to the Korea Consulate in Chicago to finally get that visa sticker on the passport. This should take only four to five business days and then it will be overnighted back to me. The school in Korea is going to buy my plane ticket there and then I guess send it, they asked me what airport was the closest to me. I still do not have an official departure date which is driving me a little crazy. I am supposed to call the consulate on Thursday and see how things are going and see when I might have my passport back with the visa. The school told me in their email that the first week of October there might not be school because it is like Korea's Thanksgiving week. I don't know if that means I'll go after that or what. But with the visa and everything, everything should be ready to go sometime middle next week. So technically I am ready for this adventure to begin, thus why can't I leave lets say as soon as next weekend or the last full week of September? Anyway, so maybe I'll get my visa on my birthday, my birthday present this year acceptance to go to Korea, all that I would want on my 21st birthday!

I am also reading a very exciting, weird, suspensful novel right now called The Devil of Nanking. More later on this once I finish it, but let us just say I was a little bit scared last night trying to go to bed.
