It is the day before the last day of June 2006. It is early in the morning on a Thursday. Perhaps I should be getting a good night's sleep so I can move the remainder of my belongings out tomorrow as well as study some Korean for my joint lesson with Sam by Erin. But instead I am constantly composing a running lists of 'must-dos' before I leave KC and the country.

My house is composed of piles of clothing to get rid of, to keep in storage, and to take to Korea. As well as a ton of other miscellaneous items strewn about. I have managed to give a majority of my furniture to a friend. All of this is fairly boron. I got a call today from the Korean consulate. Sam and I overnighted our materials yesterday and then they called us. I was afraid they would have a problem processing our visa and we would not be able to leave by our intended date of July 9th 2006, a Sunday. All was well and it turned out I just needed to set up a FedEx account so they could send our materials back to us. phew!

Otherwise, my life has consisted of watching bits and pieces of season 4 of Six Feet Under. One of my friends put it nicely today, "I can't wait until that show is over so I can have my life back." It is like an addiction. I was hoping to finish it before going to Korea but it might be nearly impossible. What is more important--seeing friends or finishing the series? It's a close call.

I will leave with some breath taking photos of my recent jaunt up to see my parents in Canada. These were taken in the Banff National Forest. My mom can tell you the specific names of the lakes but I have forgotten.
