So I’m sitting here, (at work!) with some steamed vanilla soy milk (i can’t have milk) and some delicious caramel sauce on top of the foam, wondering if I’m really going to go to Korea.  I’ve started to panic slightly, despite the fact that I’m telling people that I’m leaving the second week in February.  And seriously, there should never be any circumstances that force someone to say “February” more than twice a week.  It’s a dagum hard word to say in the first place, let alone attaching it to something as important as moving half way across the world.

I haven’t heard anything from my coordinator in more than two weeks.  I sent in my completed application by email and he emailed me back a few days later to say that he would let me know about any progress.

Nothing.

I think the next step is the actual physical contracts that I will receive in the mail but I’m not really sure.  It says on the website that anytime from October through January is when I could get the contracts so that make me feel a tab bit better but not really that much.  I’ve been planning, buying (and not buying things) in preparation for this big move and change in my life and I still don’t have a definite answer as to whether I’m going or not.

However, since I can do absolutely nothing about it, I’ve decided to start exploring the option of Portugal or Mexico City and to not worry about it.

Tonight I’m hanging with my girl from California who is home for a week so we have two years of catching up and future plan explanations to make in just a few hours.  So I’m gearing up to talk a bunch so the soy is soothing my throat already.

I did receive just about the coolest backpack for my mac that I could ever have.  It’s been in hard use for that last few days and I still love it.  It has a million mesh pockets of various sizes for the randomness that is computer crap.  I need to buy everything I can from Apple with my handy dandy Starbucks discount like and airport express and an extra power cord since mine has decided to go on the blink.  Oh macs.  I might even get a new one when I get back.  Who knows what goodies they’ll come up with before then.

My parents are planning to buy a new imac (woot!) finally.  They one they have now is so old that it’s not an Intel based mac (argh) so much frustration has ensued from that deal.  So now they’re going to get a nice pretty new one for me!  Woot.  Many skype dates ahead I can tell.  Also my bestest friend in the whole wide world also bought a new laptop with a webcam for me too!  She and her husband were going to buy a new one eventually anyway but decided to get it now so D and I can talk.  Excitement! Go J!

Well, I’m done with blogging about absolutely nothing so I will go now and enjoy the rest of my meal break and then off to a competing coffee house to eat with the girl from Cali.
