Signed, Sealed, Delivered

For some reason, it was really hard to drag my butt out of bed today. I zombie-walked to ELE and after it was over I came back to my room. Kate came in and told me that we weren't teaching ILP today. Welp, works for me! I was bummed about not seeing my kids though. Tomorrow I don't teach ELE, but I do teach ILP. And- it's parents' day. Shoot me now. The last time we had parents' day, I was petted. Like I was a dog or something.

 I was Ms. Popularity in the Skype world today. I Skyped with my mom, my aunt, and Lucas. And then my brother, which is the most important one of all!

It's as official as it's going to get until I land in Seoul, South Korea, but I'M GOING! Signed, sealed, and not quite delivered. My plane ticket has been purchased. I'm going to be there from December 15 until December 19. That's only 29 days from now, folks. I absolutely cannot wait to spend time with him, just the two of us. Never in a million years did I think the two of us would wind up in South Korea, of all places in the world. It's going to be completely great and the best Christmas gift that I could ask for. My brother is one of a kind and I love him and Elysia more than anything. I wish she could come to Korea, too. What a reunion that would be! 

My hero <3

It's going to be quite the adventure to make the trip by myself. I'm mostly worried about getting to the train station in Changzhou. From there, it will be a three hour train ride to Shanghai and then I will have to make my way to the airport. I feel like I know Shanghai really well so once I get there I think it'll be smooth sailing. I'm praying that everything goes as planned and there are no major issues. Isn't it pretty awesome that I can navigate my way around one of the biggest cities in the world, in the biggest country in the world? I think so. I'm rather impressed with myself actually.
