Korea Bound in Two Months and Counting

So it is two months and counting beginning this evening.
I will be heading over to Korea (south) for a year contract to teach English as a second Language with Footprints Recruiting. I am pretty excited... and well... pretty scared.
I am really not second guessing myself. I think I have way too much to do to allow myself to second guess itself.I have to literally buy a brand new wardrobe..... get my visa... sign my contract... buy like a thousand little things (hygenic stuff) that I refuse to live without...
Everyone that finds out what I am doing keeps asking me if I am nervous or how Im feeling about this momentous decision... and though I tell them that I am fine... in all honesty.. I am scared shittless... not that I am second guessing myself at all... since I strongly feel that this is where I need to be and what I am being called to do... but... well to leave one's homeland... family.. friends... lifestyle... and just start anew... well it is a tad unnerving.
I know that I will do fine though and know that well if I hate it... I can always just come home.. or that I will find some solace in the fact that I am there only a year... I mean hey.. I hate Kitchener and surprisingly I have lasted 5.
To pay the bills I am currently at Crawford Adjusters Canada.. doing in take work.. basically I am a glorified call center agent. Though it pays really well.... it is not my passion... and well I have my days where walking out in the middle of my shift seems possible. In all honesty they have been really nice to me though... I have given them notice for Korea and they stated that if I ever wanted to come back that the job was mine... and they have worked it out that even though I am done April 25.. (and counting).. I will get paid up until May 15... so the cash sitch shouldnt be that bad for the first bit of unemployment.
Anyways.. this is my first post in this journal... I am hoping to use it as a recap for what I experience in Korea.. in addition to a form of communication with my family and friends here at home... I hope that it will work... as my LJ and I were pretty close....
I started my LJ with a disclaimer and I think I will add it to this one as well:
Things that I write in here are my thoughts, rants and experiences.. If I in anyway insult or cause concern to any of this journal's readers... please know that I have a lot to work out in my head... and if you take offense to anything read.. please let me know.. or just realize that I may not mean things the way they come across.. and if I do.. well it is a journal to vent my thoughts and expressions... so please take things lightly... though I will try to keep the bitching about others to a minimum... as there is enough bad karma in this world.. and I no longer want to add to that
