Greetings!!

I created this blog so that I could keep up with everyone from home and my friends from all over the country. They could come here to see what I'm up to (if anything) in the great nation of South Korea.

Right now I'm sitting at my apartment freaking out because I just got a call from the place I REALLY want to be in Korea: Seoul. I want to be in the big city so bad. Mostly because they are more likely to have toilet paper than other places......... but still quite unlikely (or so I've heard).

I'm unsure as to why my obsession about toilet paper has become overgrown and basically out of control.... but there are some things in life you get moderately attached to in your everyday life. You don't even realize you enjoy them that much until the possibility of not having them.

I don't particularly enjoy the idea of water being sprayed at my butt in order to clean it. How do you dry that?? Air dry?? Do Koreans take 12 years to dry their butts before pulling their pants up because..... wet spots on the seat of your pants isn't exactly my idea of sanitation.

But what do I know??

Anyway... I just got a call tonight at about... 9pm (sometime during the late morning in Korea) from a school in Seoul. They want me to come as soon as I get my passport. They said something about me coming the 14th of August.

I almost died of shock. Thats a little soon. I'm not packed. Not at all. BUT... I guess when an opportunity presents itself you can't really pass it up for something stupid like a time restriction. Time can always be messed with I suppose. I'm sure I won't sleep for a month.... regardless of when I leave. Too much to do and think about.

My bday is in.... a month and a week.

I'll be in Korea on my own. Kinda sucks.

I'm trying to find a phone plan that works internationally. So I can still keep in contact with my parents and friends. My poor mom would die if I didn't call. She'd probably fly to Seoul and track me down (love you mom!!). I talked to ATT yesterday because they seem to have the best plan. BUT... the catch is that I have to buy a Blackberry in order to have a frequency compatible phone.

NOW.... I wonder if I'll have time to even GET A PHONE SHIPPED TO ME!!!







oy with the poodles.

Stressed to the max. i feel like a rubber band, stretched to the breaking point.... about to pop out of the persons hand and take out an eye.
