"Funny The Way It Is"

It's official!! My start date is June 1st. This means I will need to be in Korea that day! This only gives me a little over 2 weeks left in the States, and not a lot of time to pack up my old apartment and life from the past 3+ years. (insert deep, yet nervous breath here). The most pressing issue is to get my E-2 Visa application in at the SK Consulate in Newton, MA. This can take some time to process as well, but if I don't have it when I arrive in SK, the school system has to send me to Japan on a visa run until the paperwork comes through (on their dime of course). Hopefully this will not be the case.

I'm going to try and use as many vacation days as possible to get the time to shop, pack, visit family and friends, etc. I don't know if or when I'll have a going-away party, but hopefully I can throw something together on their Saturday, May 30th. It's a hard time for people to get together because of other commitments with family gatherings, graduations, etc. (I totally understand, and apologize for the short notice). I'll send out an e-mail as soon as I make plans.
