An Update

I somehow managed to pull off straight A's in my last semester as an undergraduate. I'm not going to say, "how did I pull that off" because I worked my butt off to get those grades. Normal people slack off during their last semester. Not me I guess. I mean I may have procrastinated a tiny bit but who doesn't?

I have been obsessively reading the "Twilight" series by Stephanie Meyer. I read two of the books in 4 days. I have concluded that I'm pretty much ridiculous.

Moving on I had my graduation party on Saturday. It was... fun. Another realization that I have come across is that I don't really know a whole lot of people in Kansas City. Maybe that will just make it easier to leave.

I started my Worlds of Fun/Oceans of Fun orientation. I had to sit through a three hour course yesterday which was just awful. We had to take a test afterwards and it took me 5 minutes to take it. I have a feeling that I am one of the oldest people their. How utterly depressing.

I have to go in tomorrow at 8:30 in the morning to be trained by high schoolers at the All Stars Restaurant at Worlds. I'm probably going to smell like all sorts of gross greasy food. I just have to tell myself that this is not forever and in two weeks I will be out of there and over at Oceans.

Dad told me that he talked to some of the HR ladies at the company he works for about me and they told him to tell me to fill out an application and send my resume so that I could be on file. Hmm, is working for HR like being Toby on The Office?

Alright so what this entry was actually about. I got a call from the YBM place and I was talking to the HR Manager Danny. He was just telling me that from my resume and picture (I like how he adds that my picture helped in deciding) that I was a good candidate for the YBM company. He pretty much just told me all of the bad things about public schools and why I should pick his company. Pretty convincing I'm not going to lie. He told me that he wanted to offer me this thing called the MOU which is like a binding agreement that once I get all of my documents together I will only sign a contract with them. If I do it I might be able to leave by the end of July or end of August at the latest.

I think I might just go ahead and do it so when people ask me if I have a job set up already I can finally say yes. As of right now my ramblings about going are just that. But with this MOU contract I'll have a definite position in Seoul. Exciting. It's getting close.
