Well, I got a wakeup call the other day. I finally received my documents from my new school, and it held lots of surprises. What was previously supposed to be a high school position somehow morphed into a middle school position..."surprise"....Not only that, but what was supposed to be in a location close to Kangnam where I previously worked had changed geographically into the second last stop on the Bundang line...."surprise".... We'll have to see how my "people" working hard on the reasoning behind these changes get back to me....I'm not holding my breath waiting for their replies to my questions. Don't get me wrong though - I'm not necessarily complaining; my school's been helping me out with some other stuff outside of the contract, so we'll have to see if these new wrinkles will leave me worse off, or, hopefully in the long run, better off.
The other thing that surprised me was the whole visa process. This being my second run at doing the whole visa application process, and doing it the legal way (no, I unfortunately am missing out on doing a visa run to Japan - I requested one, but they wouldn't budge). However, I don't remember paying 65 Canadian dollars for the first visa (I could be wrong on this account) - however, what really surprised me is that they now list that it could take as long as three weeks. Three weeks-"holy-super-fast-Batman....!" I remember back in the day, that for my first visa application, I had it back in three days, and that was sent using Xpresspost... hence my shock that this time its taking longer...
Well, with this recent delay, its now looking like I'll still be a week or so before I get there...until then, I'll continue to procrastinate, and get even less work done than before.
take care all
