The Mouse apologises for her hiatus. She has been getting everything together for Korea, and attempting to sort out some personal and financial issues before she goes.
As it turns out, The Mouse Fiance might not be coming to Korea with The Mouse. This makes The Mouse sad, and makes her worry a little more about the experience, but The Mouse Family assures The Mouse that she will be fine. A year without The Mouse Fiance will be difficult, but they will manage with the use of Skype, and hopefully he will at least be able to come visit at some point, just as The Mouse Mother, The Mouse Sister, and The Mouse Niece will attempt to do. On the bright side, the reason The Mouse Fiance has his doubts about going, is he may have a new job soon. This would greatly improve the financial situation of The Mouse and The Mouse Fiance, so the fingers are crossed.
The Mouse is still waiting on her background check from the FBI, because for some reason, these things take <i>forever</i>. No worries. She is also waiting on her passport, and then she can get these documents notorized and apostilled, send them off to Korea, and be leaving within a couple weeks, so as of right now, it looks like she will be leaving for Korea around the end of November - a little later than she had originally planned, but it gives her more time to get these things in order first.
Enough of The Mouse's personal worries. They say the best way to learn something is to teach it, so The Mouse is currently attempting to teach a few friends the Korean alphabet and Korean word and sentence structure. The Mouse will update soon on these endeavors and on the cultural and language notes she has promised you.
