Holy Effin Shit- The VISA has Arrived

I received my VISA number today. Well actually it is more a string of letters than numbers but who gives a shit. Finally something tangible. The last interview between me and my plane ticket could happen the end of this week. Dinner feels like it's coming back up- this is the first nervous feeling I have felt since starting this fiasco. The pressure is on from my agency, the director was the one who e-mailed me, not Jiyeon who I usually deal with. I need to spend more money, surprise , surprise about $1oo but that's minor at this point. The battle is almost mine, mission almost accomplished but there is still so much shit to take care of. I have to pack, get my meds, get more money, convert it into won. I have to stand on the scale with my bags and calculate the difference, I have to make sure there are no liquids in my carry-on. For all my preparation I know feel so utterly scattered, desperate and unorganized.
I also found out that I am the only white person at my branch. It is brand new and they are slowly recruiting other Westerners as were called, to the place. I feel like that could work in my benefit maybe I'll be the go-to person when they need a translation or the box of arts and crafts from the top shelf.
I have some contacts that need contacting. Jesus, I need something to drink. This is quite the head spinner. My mom is waiting for me to book my flight so she can go away and I have given my father so much anxiety he is not feeling well. My one sister needs my car and the other wants my room. I think it is time to go Canada. You rock, everyone here rocks but it's time for a change.
Another update after the interview. Snaps and crossed fingers I am going to rock this.
