I can't bring myself to pack. I guess I'll just suffer the wrath of my procrastination the night before I leave. I was worried about how much baggage was allowed on my flight. Continental Airlines allow two pieces of checked baggage under 50lbs, one carry-on, and one personal item. There are no baggage fees for flights from the U.S. to Korea, from my understanding. Luckily, I'm fairly sure that's all I need for what I'm taking.
I'm starting to develop cold feet, which I'm sure is normal. I'm not backing out, although my family would be ecstatic.
This will probably be my last post before I leave for Seoul.

2 weeks...
"Twooo Wweeeks..." Did anyone else watch the movie, "Total Recall" when they were little? Remember, it had Arnold Schwarzenegger in it and that crazy cyborg lady that kept saying "Two weeks" over and over again until her head exploded.
Anyway, I leave in two weeks. I'm attempting to stretch time and make it feel like four weeks. I'm not quite sure if I have those abilities. I'll be taking a trip down to Houston, TX this week for my interview. I'm driving over fourteen hours (there and back) for an interview that might last all of 10-15 minutes.
I have made progress with packing. I've managed to go through all of my clothes and decide what to bring and what to leave. I've also bought and packed all of my toiletries. As far as electronics go, I'm only bringing my laptop, DS, PSP, iPhone, and camera. I'm going to miss the Xbox 360 and PS3 terribly, especially since Final Fantasy XIII is releasing in the states while I'm away.
My friend Ashley and I are starting a cool artsy fartsy blog that will display some fine photography. I'll post a link as soon as we get that rolling.
People keep asking if I'm excited about going. Honestly, I feel completely numb. I don't think it will sink in until I'm actually on the plane. This will not only be my first time leaving the country, but my first time riding a plane as well. Planes don't make me a bit nervous, which completely shocks my family. I doubt they ever get on a plane, much less wander too far from their homes. They tend to be a bit xenophobic, as are a lot of people in my small Okie town .
I'll post again soon, hopefully with pictures.
