I'm currently getting ready to go to South Korea. Its been 28 days since I signed my contract with Sunflower Language School. I'm feeling frustrated and anxious today as I'm waiting to hear back from a woman in Richmond VA whom I need to certify my background check. Since she will not answer her phone, or my voice messages, and I'm all the way up in Michigan... I'm feeling pretty stuck. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better communication day, and I will be able to mail Gabe (my agent) my documents by Wednesday. Then all should go smooth, and probably very fast, as he will get my Visa number and book my flight!
Although I feel frusterated and stuck right now, I know I have accomplished a lot in the last month. I moved out of my apartment that I had lived in for 3 years. This was a huge step first, I threw away a lot of junk. Then I sold the nicer junk, that would not fit in my toyota avalon. Then sorted through the remains and seperated the things I might need for a year from the things I might need when I get back. I organized and packed everything I owned into that little car. Then drove it up to Michigan. And unpacked it, into my parents house. Soon, I will be repacking into 2 large suitcases. Downsizing from a fully furnished, beautifully decorated apartment full of things to 2 suitcases is a huge accomplishment that I should feel proud of. Now, if I could just get control of that little envelope with my background check in it, I'd be VERY happpy.
