Five days until takeoff

It's Monday, and I have five days until I leave for South Korea to teach English for one year. Packing has proven a much more formidable task than I thought it would be, especially since I just moved back in with my parents after graduation. Now, I'm working on unpacking, purging, and then repacking the things I need to store and everything I need for a year in Korea.

I'll need a complete year's supply of deodorant, tampons, and razors, as those won't be readily available once I arrive. Other than that, I'm working on whittling down my wardrobe and organizing the stuff that's staying so I won't hate myself when I get back and have to deal with all these boxes.

I just got my international driver's permit and am also working on switching banks, at the behest of my friend who's already teaching in Korea.

I still don't have my E-2 visa in hand, nor my flight booked, so hopefully this all comes together in the next few days!
