App sent!

Yesterday, November 21, I turned in my application to the university in Korea. Now, I just have to wait a week or two or three (haha) until I hear back about if I can go or not. Terrified. That is all. I even got two recommendation letters when it only asked for one. Overachiever, no not really. Just making sure I cover my bases. I am so thankful for all the people who have been helping me achieve this goal by helping out with my paperwork and writing out the Rec. It amazes me. Anyways, today is Thanksgiving, and that is what I am thankful for. I'm thankful for people who are amazing and are willing to help others out. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

It's the start of something new....

So, it has been a few days. I am constantly trying to make sure that I am up to date on what I am trying to get for Korea. I got my x-ray and my hep a and b tests back. It's all good on that front. I am just waiting on my aids test to get back, which will be a negative on it. I go in tomorrow to get my TB test read. I went to the doc on Friday, and they gave me a shot with something. I do not know what, but apparently it was some neutral version of TB. Who knows? I am so close to having my application and everything done to send in. What is left is to get like three to six more photos and my official transcript. The problem with the transcript is that I am a work-study which means that they can't give it to me, so my ISD person is going to talk to them to see what I can do to get it. That's about it for now!

Later,

The Beginning

This is a new start for me. I've never done this before. Unless you include those little blogs back when MySpace was a big deal. It has been quite a few years if you know how the technology age works. I started this to try and inform people of what I'm doing because I am planning on going to South Korea to study abroad next semester, Spring 2013. I'm really excited to try and do it, but I am also really terrified. I've already got my passport. I just got 2 of my three tests done plus the x-ray. I am so close to submitting the application. I just need to get that last test done. But, this is a way to express everything and anything I have on my mind about, well, anything.
