One more time!

I’m thrilled.

I just received an e-mail from Dave informing me that I have another interview with the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education in about a week. The subject line was “SMOE Interview (one more time!),” while the rest of the e-mail was the same form letter that was sent to me the last time. I'm not quite sure if it's an exasperated or happy exclamation mark, but it's good news to me either way. Thanks, Dave.

Seeing how well that first "interview" went, I'm praying and hoping that I not only do well in the interview, but that the phone number doesn't mysteriously change on me and that I will manage to pick up the phone when it rings. Wish me luck - I need as much as I can get.

In the meantime, I'm working on getting my documents together. I'm still waiting to get my criminal records check in; I wonder how large my file must be if processing it is taking so long. I joke, I joke (I hope).

And finally, I had bought some Korean keyboard stickers for my laptop. Now, even if my spelling and grammar are completely off, I can stop guessing which keys will produce which letters. I only know that the vowels are on the right and the consonants are on the left, so my usual attempts at typing in the Korean language resemble birds pecking, with very confused facial expressions in between the button pressing and the backspacing. I don't even want to say how long it takes me to type a simple elementary level sentence.
