...awkward firsts...

To get a handle on things and getting the first post awkwardness out of the way, here goes. I just received my E2 work visa from the Korean Consulate in Seattle. Have I left yet? No. BUT...now that the visa mess is out of the way, smooth sailing from here to Korea. They should have little ol' me on the next flight out here soon. The job they are holding for me, starts mid-November and they have already arranged my living situation. Exciting! I have condensed and condensed, items upon items and I have gotten down to three bags. I know, I KNOW! I said I was going to make two bags the absolute max, but before you scowl me for being a girl about material items and such. PLEASE hear my side! Ok? Are you sitting? Good. I have only one big duffel bag that I am checking and then two carry on; one backpack and a laptop bag. Ha HA HA!! I bet you were thinking colossal mounds of matter needing to be vacuum sealed to even fathom fitting into any piece of luggage! Or maybe you weren't, either way, I'm proud. Material is no match for my effortless detachment and impeccable paper toss aim to the waste basket. Yay me. A true testament to this coming up year. Huh, this first post wasn't so bad. I better quit while I'm ahead. In a few days, I will be writing from the future, well, to you here in the United States. To be continued...
