today we got e-mails about our interviews to see if we get accepted into the Intrax program (for those of you just joining us, Jake and I have applied--through Intrax--to teach English in Korea). This doesn't mean we're in, it just means they got our applications. We have our interviews next week (same day, different times). They collect our $50 application fee at the beginning of the interview (i know, $50 just to apply, but i guess that's the real world for you) and then we have our 30 minute interview and (this is the best part in my opinion) at the end of the interview they tell us yay or nay. while i'm a fairly patient person, i get stressed out and super anxious if i'm left waiting for too long :)
At this point we have no plan B. It's just Korea AND THEN grad school. i know you should always plan for the worse and hope for the best but i've discovered that every time i plan for the worse the worse comes through. hahaha.
for now i'm just going to work on my syllabus, practice my Spanish and enjoy having somewhere to live before we get booted out. :]
Danica,
