It's official!

I found out yesterday that I have been officially accepted into Yonsei University as an international exchange student! Now that I finally received acceptance, I can now move forward with a lot of things I need to do for my year-long study abroad. I need to buy my plane ticket, apply for my visa, finalize my homestay, enroll for courses, get all my health stuff done, notify my bank, apply for my 21st birthday driver's license, etc. and of course, pack. Luckily I have two and a half months to get everything done so I'm not too worried about time.

My acceptance letter.

I also head to my Boren orientation soon! I leave Sunday, June 8 and I come back Tuesday, June 10. I'll be in Washington, D.C. meeting other Boren scholars and even having the chance to meet U.S. Congressmen and Senators!

Even though I haven't bought my plane ticket yet, I plan on leaving the U.S. on August 20th. So until then everyone will have a chance to say their good-byes. I will most likely stay in Korea until next August because I want to do a summer study abroad there as well. It's weird to think that when I come back a lot of my friends will have graduated and I will only have a year left of school.

Anyways, everything is going to plan which is really, really good. I'm hoping all the items on my list go smoothly as well!
