Korea!!

So as of last Friday afternoon, I am officially accepted to the Adventure Teaching program - meaning they would start to look for available positions in Korea for me to teach at. I decided that I was going to get as much done yesterday as I could on all the paperwork for the E-2 Visa and so ran around doing errands at Biola via Heidi's ID card. I now have a lime green folder full of those separate pieces, such as health statements and consulate checklists, and yesterday afternoon I felt rather productive.

Well, so last night Kels and I were heading to Jeff's birthday celebration and I get a call from an Unavailable number. 

"Hello?"

"Hi, this is Reuben from Adventure Teaching, is this Mindy?"

So I have an interview tomorrow night with Avalon schools. What?!?! It's actually happening. I'm going to Korea, and I'm going to be a teacher, and I'll be living overseas for a whole year. I'm so excited. 

Apparently this school organization is the same that Katie interviewed with and accepted, and two minutes after I got off the phone with Reuben he called Kelsey. Don't forget, we're in the same car. She has an interview with Avalon after my interview on Thursday night. So I guess the organization is looking to hire all four of us! This would be awesome because all of the schools are relatively close together, and they are a well-established program that is really considerate towards its foreign teachers. Paid flight, housing, 50% health, bonus... I'm really excited for my interview, and I can't wait to get further along with the visa process, i.e. getting a criminal record check and interviewing with the Korean consulate. Yeah!
