Woo Hoo!

I'm Going on Thursday!

Friday, Tim and I went to the Korean Consulate and I had my first ever work-visa interview. Located on the 27th floor of the NBC building, downtown Chicago, the Consulate has an incredible view of Lake Michigan. The two ladies in front of me seemed nervous, and their interviews took a little over fifteen minutes apiece. Luckily I had read the guidebook twice, and had fellowship with a few Korean natives. Fully prepared, my interview took only five minutes.

Tim and my stomachs were growling so we decided to get a quick bite to eat before braving the road construction on I94. Tim said cheeseburgers sounded good. Ah, comfort food. We went to the Billy Goat Tavern (spoofed by SNL). FUn TimES! SO, Wednesday I have to pick up the Visa, what a pain.

I just received my flight tickets, and I am ecstatic! In less than a week I will be on the other side of the world. Then it is all about immersion. I am going to jump into it head first. Teaching to the best of my ability and learning as much as I can as fast as I can is the name of the game. WOO! Danny Woo my new manager will pick me up in Busan after my 22 hr trip. I can't wait!
