this is my 200th post according to my dashboard. i feel like i should do something profound, but i have neither the patience to think of something or the time to do it. so i will just rattle off what is on my mind like normal.
first off today was a good day. i mean a GOOD day. today was the first day i woke up and i felt pretty okay. considering i have been a stressed out wreck this last week i am happy today was good. it was a nice low day at work, only 5 children and they were all gone before 5, which meant i had an hour to actually get things done in the classroom. granted since i am the closer i have to stay until all the children are gone, especially since my boss left way early today. so i was there until after 6 becuase anamika's mom was late.
i am stillllll waiting for my background check from the FBI for my korea stuff. it has now been two months since i have sent things in. it is extremely frustrating and i am getting super impatient. i need it now. then it's off to salem to apostille it and my degree. then i send that to scott. then the E2 visa process starts. which will require a trip to seattle, which i am perfectly okay with. :)
speaking of korea... this has been a process. a very very very stressful process. once we finally turned our things in for EPIK we get an email saying we sent our things in too late, so we had the option of waiting till next term, going through private schools or going with GEPIK, which is basically the same thing as EPIK, only in a different part of korea. GEPIK applications were turned in on sunday and as of this morning i have been requested for an interview at some point this week. omg i can't believe this is actually happening... i am going to be in freak out mode for a good while.
dani and i have been doing research on korea so we can get a little bit more prepared for what to expect. well last night i had my first overwhelming freak out. i had to shut my computer off and walk away to calm down. so many things to do and figure out even before we get there. and then once we get there it is going to be a totally different story. oh i can't even think about it anymore...
i am extremely happy for the holidays though. :) this means i get to get creative and make most of my christmas presents. my mom's is done almost. finishing touches will go on tonight. i still need to go through and find pictures for most of my gifts. my sister's is the most entertaining. she is the only one that i am completely done with... except i don't actually have any of her gifts here. each one of her gifts is coming from a different state, with a total of 9 i believe. and considering i have her birthday which is thursday, a whole 9 days before christmas i had to do some extra work figuring out to get her.
red wine, christmas music, presents. :)
