AAHHH!

I feel nervous, excited, panicked, frustrated, sad, and happy all at the same time at this point about my upcoming move to South Korea! I found out today that I have to drive up to KU tomorrow morning to pick up my diploma and do the same day transcript thing because they are toooooo slow! They told me today after I finally connected with the University Registrar Office that my diploma would probably not be sent out until sometime late next week and the transcripts that I sent for on Friday probably not until at least September 1! What?! The school in Korea and everyone at this point wants to get rolling on the visa process like I do too especially since I already have a contract squared away. So, that leaves me with the option of driving to Lawrence tomorrow to get this taken care of once and for all. . .I hope! I'll also get to see some friends tomorrow, which is good but it'll be a short trip. Leave tomorrow morning early around 6:30 and come back tomorrow night. But I am also faced with the fact that my departure date keeps coming closer and closer, sooner than later and am I ready for that. Like I could leave within two to three weeks not a month or two anymore. Am I ready to start my fifteen month job and life in Seoul South Korea? A lot can happen in a year in three months, and I am going to miss my friends and family a lot. I will probably have to come home for about five days at some point for a funeral, but that does not really count. But really I don't know Korean, I have never formally taught English before and to kids in a private ESL school in Korea. Will I like it there or end up hating Korea with a passion? Will I make friends outside of the people I already know, will I like the people I work with? Will my parents come and visit me at some point during those fifteen months? What if I fall madly and deeply in love with some beautiful Korean Christian young woman? Will I make enough money to be able to save as much as I plan on? What will my apartment be like, will it work out? God is going to provide for me and take care of everything, but there are still a lot of questions and concerns that I have of course. Will any of my friends come and visit me? Probably not. . . but hey I am tough I can survive in Seoul South Korea for fifteen months and make a life for myself there, right?


That is all for now I guess.
