From my first blog almost two months ago this was the list of things I was thinking I needed to do.

1. Pray profusely. - ongoing on this one.

2. Apply for and receive Passport – check

3. Get copies of college transcripts – check

4. Criminal background check – check

5. Authorization of said transcripts and check – check

6. Possibly find a recruiter to help find a school – not necessary

7. Find a school – again, not necessary

8.Send original college diploma and authorized said trans. and check to EPIK

9. Interview with school – with EPIK

10. Sign a contract (waiting for it)

11. Interview at Korean Embassy and subsequently receive a work visa (have to sign a contract first)

12. Acquire plane ticket (have to get a visa first)

13. Give EVERYTHING away (definitely in process of)

14. Pack what’s left (not really wanting to pack anything, but since I don’t have any suitcases the situation is looking grim regardless)

15. Fly to Korea to ensconce myself in a cosy studio apartment and teach  chi-dren for a year. (SOOOOO ready to do this one)

16. NEVER COME BACK. (still not sure about this one, I will have to come back after a year for various reasons, so I’ll be back stateside in a year at the most anyway)
