I got my flight and visa information a few days ago and it
has been a whirlwind ever since! Having
a concrete date of departure for February 22nd is a relief that I
have been waiting a long time for. I
sent my passport in to the Korean consulate in New York and just got it back
yesterday (which was a relief to have it back in my possession again). At this point, I am just getting last minute
stuff done.
Last night the Literacy
Council (the school where I teach English to adults in the evening) threw me a
nice little Bon Voyage party. That was
really nice to see how much people are going to me miss me and to know how much
they care. They are a truly wonderful
group of people. Nancy made little cherry cheesecakes and they got two of those
large chocolate chip cookie cakes with writing on top. One said “Good Luck Ashley” and the other
said “Anneyong” in English and Korean. So Cool!
Tomorrow is my last day of work. Did I mention today is a snow day? Yup!
We got a HUGE nor’easter storm and we got over a foot of snow dumped on
us. So I am home today, which was
excellent for getting stuff done and spending time with the kitties. Tomorrow is my official last day and I
couldn’t be more glad of it. I am ready to move on to something new. After work
Victor and I are headed to his parents to have a goodbye party up there. I’m super excited about that! I am hoping the roads are okay despite the
huge snowfall we have gotten.
Other weather concerns plague me about the flight as
well. I’ll be flying into Chicago, which
everyone knows that Chicago in winter is not good. Snow snow snow! I really hope I don’t get stranded in the
airport in Chicago! AHH! Although I hear it is a nice airport… Think of the positives! I checked the weather forecast ad it looks like heavy rain in Chicago for Saturday, which is much better than snow. Much much better!
I'm rambling! Sorry. Other posts will be more interesting as I begin my adventure!
안녕!!
