Contact established. Wheels turning faster.

I got emails from a couple teachers at the school I’ll be working at to welcome me and establish my ETA in Korea. Just that contact in itself made it more grounding that I’m actually doing this.

They wrote to me a day or two before I received my paperwork that got forwarded from Seattle. I told them that I would be going to the consulate this week and buying a plane ticket once I got the visa.

I was hoping I’d be leaving for Korea next week, but found out at the consulate yesterday that the visa will take a week to process (which means I’ll be making another trip to D.C.), provided they have all the paperwork they need. Well, I’m not going to buy a plane ticket until I know for sure I’ve got the visa and there are no other documents they need.

But I imagine it’ll be fine. I’ll be looking to leave for Korea sometime the week after next.
