Obligatory Hurricane Sandy Post

The Mouse has a ticket to Korea, leaving at 6am on Friday morning. FINALLY!!! It has been slightly over a year, since The Mouse has been avidly working on getting herself to Korea. The Mouse Fiancé is leaving on Monday, and we will be packing and shipping out belongings in the next couple days. That said, The Mouse Family lives in Baltimore, Maryland, on the east coast of the United States - which is currently being pummeled by Hurricane Sandy. The Mouse's thoughts go out to everyone who has been, currently is, and will be hit by this massive storm, and she hopes that everyone else is safe as well. 

On a more selfish note, she hopes this does not delay her flight or her plans any further.

The Mouse is back. She apologizes for her excessively long silence, but she should be back up and running now. Things were a bit hectic for her and she is finally in that part of the process where she is leaving for Korea soon. She got all of her documentation together, sent it off to her agency, and has been recruited by Easy English Academy in Cheonan, only a short distance away from Seoul by subway. She is leaving for Korea in about two weeks, as soon as her passport is stamped with her visa and her agency, ESL Park, provides her plane ticket.

The Mouse has been fortunate enough to speak with the current English teacher at Easy English, and both the school and living arrangements seem very good, from what she has heard. She hopes she will transition smoothly, especially since the Mouse Fiancé WILL be going with her ^.^

The Mouse hopes that people she knows here in Baltimore will keep in touch, follow her blog, follow her on Facebook (and perhaps on Youtube - she has not made a channel yet and is not entirely sure she will be uploading much as far as videos go, but if she does she will drop you all a link here.) She will also continue the language and culture lessons here. She may ask the Mouse Fiancé add a post of his own concerning Korean cuisine, since he has been studying much more of that than she has, as she has been concerned more with the language itself, among other things. That said, she knows her language posts sometimes get a bit technical, so if you're curious, feel free to ask what something means or generally, what on Earth she's talking about in the first place!
