So a few days ago I announced I was going to Korea. If only things were that easy...

I had sent in my resume 21st (about a week ago), and they e-mailed me back on Monday saying they had accepted me to their program. However, I had received two e-mails from the same company (different branches). I simply assumed it was a miscommunication and continued to respond primarily with the Apgu branch (the one Lillia is in).

Ahh! Then I realized that the other branch (the Mokdong branch) had made me a completely different offer than the Apgu branch... the Mokdong branch had offered me a full-time position (8 hours a day for about 10 weeks) while Apgu had offered me 20 hours a week for about 6 weeks. Now, I have absolutely no preference to which one I go to; Apgu is less work, closer to friends, and a hotspot for fun... but I could make some serious dough-age working at the Mokdong branch (which might not be bad since Tabulas is itching for some hardware upgrades).

So I was supposed to get a call at 3-5PM on Thursday (Korea time) from the Mokdong branch regarding the position ... so I stayed up waiting for their call (I didn't want to be groggy).... I stayed up until about 5am ... then gave up and went to sleep. I tried to call them, but my parents had disconnected our long-distance carrier and I didn't know the PIN for our calling card... oops.

In any case, I got an e-mail today back from the director of the Apgu branch saying that there was a "tug of war" going on over which branch was going to get me... and that a final decision would be reached Monday. So here I wait for my assignment. The more I think about it though, the more I think I would like the Mokdong branch... if I'm assuming correctly, because it's a full-time position, I would also get housing... and to make a few thousand over the summer to start my nest egg when I leave college sounds very very tempting.

So I got the calling card PIN number today and started calling the lady at the Mokdong branch, but I haven't been able to reach her. I left my number, but they haven't called me back. Grar!!!

In any case, I'm pretty excited about this opportunity. It's weird to think that it's been about a week since I even HEARD about this opportunity ... and now I've been accepted (I think)! The joys of the Internet.

But I worry about whether I can get a plane ticket... the program starts on June 14th, so I'm assuming I would need to fly in a few days early to train, but if they get back to me by Monday, it's already going to be June 1st! Am I going to even find a flight over there?

Ahh! I'm totally stressed out.

But what totally sucks is because I had to wait by the phone (for a call that never came!), I missed out on watching "Chingu" with chingus last night... and poker tonight. AHHHH.

Oh well. 'Sall good :).
