gotta run, run, run

little bit more of an update...

i finally bought a laptop. bit the bullet and bought a mac. and it is glorious!!! i'm still sort of learning my way around it, but it's so much more efficient than a pc. anyways, more about the awesomeness of the macbook in another post. it's to late for superlatives.

i'm actually packing right now. sort of. well, putting stuff in ziplock bags so that sort of counts as packing; pesudo-packing, the packing before the packing, etc. well, my room looks like my closet exploded and the couch in the living room is covered in ziplocks filled with miscellaneous stuff.

i need to start crack-a-lacking now because there's family coming this weekend from the states (not related to me going to korea. kind of like good/bad timing 'cause i'd love to see them, but i have nothing, abosulutely nothing done!). i'm also super-busy this week and weekend seeing family/friends, buying more junk i forgot, yada-ya, blah-blah-blah, etc. so i really have to get my shit organized by/before the weekend.

i'm going to leave it at this. it's scary thinking about what i haven't got done yet. haven't got done yet. it sounds wrong...and i don't know if it is. and here i am going to another country to teach english to children. haha. i'm awesome!

nothing on rotation tonight. it's late and i don't even know why i'm still updating when my shit's not going to pack themselves.

oh yes, and i also got my visa. hoorah!

the beginning is the end is the beginning

i'm on/off with this blog. i can't really get used to it.

anyways, i'm going to korea to teach english for a year. i guess that would be considered as a major update. i'm leaving in like 10 days. holy shit, 10 days! i just realized how much time i DON'T have after typing it out. but i'm still waiting for my visa. i can see this being super-uber crunch time. i also have to go to the dentist and i'm scared shitless.

i haven't had time to process much of this. i've been so busy with this and that that the only emotion going through me is stress. just watch, it will all unravel during take-off. i'll start clawing for that oxygen mask. i'm actually excited about going, but often forget the excited feeling i just had. then i'll get an email once in a while (like this one i got recently about the orientation plan) and realize it's for real. then i'll forget again and even after people tell me they can't believe i'm going i get reminded that i am going and then i can't believe i'm going. it's a really weird feeling actually. a little bit hard to describe. kind of like i'm indifferent but i'm not.

i still have a lot of stuff to do. i started cleaning out my closet today. i realized i own a lot of useless and ugly shit. i'm sure i would make the perfect candidate for 'what not to wear'. i own a lot of stupid t-shirts with stupid sayings.

quick 'things to do' list off the top of my head (for my purposes and yours if you care to read):
- pack
- buy laptop
- move files from old comp to new
- unlock phone
- get stuff drycleaned
- ....etc.

there's like so much more i have to do but i can't remember. i should really invest in a voice-recorder.
