rainy, crappy thursday afternoon

So I am sitting here at crazy mocha doing my daily routine of researching some things on the net and trying to sort out the million and one things that I need to do before I leave in my head. It just hit me today that I dont know if I can leave Mid July like I had planned. on top of make 3 grand before then to cover all expenses... I also realized today that I am going to have to have to buy alot of the things that I cant possibly live with out---and I dont want to chance them not having my sepcific brands in korea--such as my venus razor replacements,makeup, perfum...prescriptions..etc etc. I also need to make duplicate copies of all of my important paperwork.... Just incase. I guess that right now money is the biggest issue though. Even though I moved home amonth ago to start saving for the move...I have only managed to just pay what needed to be paid and get extremely drunk while doing it. Not to mention lavish dinners at ibiza and frozen cosmos at Harris. Friends at work have alot to do with that...thanks guys! but as of this week I really have to start counting pennies and buckle down. I even PICKED UP a brunch shift this week. YUK! thats probably the first time in Six Penn history that anyone as ever done that! haha.

Although I know that it will be more than worth it in the end. I will be in a new place, with people from all over the world. Where karaokee is frequent and beef is not. Maybe I can get back to my old vegetarian ways :)

Till tomorrow

So I havent left yet...but I thought today would be a good day to start my blog. Afterall no better time than the present! I am mainly starting this blog for my family and friends - so that they can stay up to date with me while I am far away from home. Hopefully it can also help someone who is thinking of doing the same thing. Teaching English In South Korea, that is. The more that I research this opportunity and the closer that I get to July ( which is when I am leaving) the more excited I become! I also realize that even though July is almost 2 months away...I have soo many things to do that every second from here on out is going to COUNT!
And with only 2 hours per day to take care of buisness ( because of my hectic work schedule at SPK!!) this will be interesting.
I am also hoping to get to see everyone before I leave, however, since organizing a " get together" will be alot , on top of everything else..I have decided that I will spread the word, and whoever comes through, comes through, and who doesnt - well then I have to assume that they have a good reason. So here goes........ back to work!
