What a Week

What a week! In the last ten days I have:

* Got to hang out with Naylor while he was in town overnight on his way to surprise Nick for his birthday.
* Finally got my physical results and sent them off to China so my visa and work permit applications could  
   be processed.
* Got a flu shot which made me sick.
* Gone clothes shopping to get a new wardrobe for my trip.
* Attended a 30 hour real estate class to make my license permanent so it won't expire while I'm gone
* Gone to the State LLR Office to drop off my certification and get my license
* Had my weekly Chinese lessons
* Gone to the Health Department to get my travel vaccines.
* Visited an attorney to get my will, power of attorney, and living will in order.
* Gone to the bank to set up my financial matters while I'm away.
* Saw the new Harry Potter movie (not really related but still fun!)

The delay of my physical results almost derailed my job application process but it finally came through and most everything is in order for my trip. It's a good thing, too. I probably owe my poor roommate Justin an apology for my near-hysterics on Thursday. It's pretty hard to get me upset, let alone panicked, but this was an exception. All I needed was an antique fainting couch and some pearls to clutch to complete the image. I won't know exactly when I'm leaving until I get my visa mailed to me.

After the month I've had so far, I'm looking forward to going home to relax for a few days over Thanksgiving to see my mom and friends before I leave.
