Past the Gate

I graduated from Southwestern Adventist University this past Sunday, May 6th! It was a bit surreal, sitting on the stage and as I sit on my bed I'm dealing with a little bit of denial. Is it all really over? Now, I tell myself I have to focus all my attentions on the process for Korea. I'm still on Step 1 (there are three steps) and all that I need to get onto the next step is an apostille seal. I sent in the form about two weeks ago but apparently, the paperwork was not done right so I had to resend another packet yesterday. I'm hoping it will be accepted and I will get my apostille seal within a week so I can send off the first batch of papers to Korea. The next step will need my FBI background check which I have not received... I was told it would take 8-12 weeks... I am not a patient person. Yet, it seems all I can do is wait.... and keep waiting. While I wait, I'm going to try and be productive in other areas of life such as exercising, completing summer projects, and working. A BIG thanks to Chaplain Mattey for offering me a contract job that could stretch out to a month if necessary. This extra money will help with gas, debt, and unforeseen expenses that may arise throughout this whole process of obtaining a VISA. >.<

I'll keep you posted!
