I'm in a REALLY good mood right now. I woke up this morning, and when I was about to open my door I saw this fedex package (I guess my Grandma signed for it, and slipped it under my door). The funny part was that I had been talking to my sister about how the NOA package should be here by 10:30 AM, and while we were still talking I looked down and there it was. It was a nice way to start my day.
I filled out the visa application form and mailed it out this afternoon. So hopefully I will get my passport/visa no later than Saturday, and will book my flight next week. I'm smiling and laughing because five months ago I was so miserable wondering how I would get through six more months of waiting to leave for Seoul, but I made it through it, and these five months have been an unexpected blessing. I had more time with my family and friends, and I have grown and learned a lot about myself over the past five months. It wasn't easy, but I just feel like August wasn't my time to leave yet. There were still things I needed to do, experience, and learn for myself.
Next week is by God's grace my final checkup with my GI doctor before leaving for Seoul. I had to do some lab work today (waited almost an hour before they did the tests), so I will find out the results next week, and hopefully they will be much improved so I don't have to keep taking the Iron Glucose medication when I am in Seoul. I told myself 2010 is my year of GREAT health, and I am going to do my part to make that happen!
I'm pretty much all packed, since I never unpacked in the first place. All I have left in the month ahead is spending time with the important people in my life so we can have memories to make the year apart not seem as long. I am not anxious or nervous about going to Seoul this time around, because I just feel like a positive attitude and some serious determination will make things a lot easier on me than worrying about the details.
So, cheers to 31 more days left before I get on that plane and start my Seoul journey!!!
Be Blessed,
