I'm going to Korea

Wow

That's all I can say. Wow. Things are starting to move quickly now. So I had my interview about 2 weeks ago. I was so stressed and so worried. The thoughts "I hope I say the right things and is this actually happening ? What if I say something wrong ? What am I going to do if I don't pass ? What this, what that......" all went through my head constantly. My interview was at 7am (CAT) which means I couldn't oversleep at all. This caused, like always, that very little sleep happened that night prior to the interview. I was awake about every hour looking at the clock. 3am, 4am, 5am and then came the time I had to get up at 6am with hardly any sleep and still stressing.

My boyfriend was so supportive and told me so many times not to stress and that everything will go just fine.

I spoke to my recruitment agency and I found out something really interesting. In Afrikaans we use "JA" as "YES" soooo often. "JA" actually means something completely different in Korea. I cannot say what it means here, it's really rude lol.  

After almost an hour of interviewing and about 5 days of waiting for the results I finally got the courage to look at my emails after a nice day on the water at our holiday house and a cocktail in the hand I received the greatest news ever.
I passed my interview which means the only thing I still need to do is send some documents and sign the contract and then this little butterfly is flying.

Yeah I celebrated for a whole week not only because I passed my interview but also because I'm getting my second degree. This is the reason I took so long to write. It's crazy how fast a year flies by and how fast things can fall into place and out of place.

I can already say that change is something I'll have to get used to very soon. But who is scared of that ? Me? No ways!! 

The Wait....

I am currently waiting for my interview and oh the wait is long.

I sent in my applications after this fix and that fix and when it was eventually done I sent it through to the company I worked through. I passed the first step but now.... The steps that follows ain't that easy.

I have heard from a few people who got rejected but my hopes are still high. I still have a chance to "WOW" them with my charming self but I can tell you this its stressful. Its quite unfortunate that we need to bounce right back after university to where we initially started after school. All the University applications and the long waits for approval and the access tests (interviews) we had to undergo just to end where we are after university and start the whole process all over again.

I have no idea what would be expected of me in that interview and that in itself is quite scary. My dad asked me the question: "What difference did you make in university?" At first I didn't know how to answer him but by thinking about that question made me realise how much I did in my university life and also how much I have changed in the last 5 years. It's quite strange to say it but I am officially an adult, have been for sometime, but I still want to be a kid in so many ways.

Anyway this is some exciting times.
