Welp, this all better work out.

I QUIT MY JOB!

Oh wait, I mean, on Monday it deeply saddened me to let my boss at the Milwaukee Bar Association know that my employment there will be ending as of May 27, 2011...honestly, I'm pumped.  I dig most of my coworkers and working there has been interesting to say the least, but I am certainly ready for something new!  As I write this I have only four full weeks left...time is going to fly!

In other news, my school has  received all of my documents and is applying for my work visa, yay!

I'm also heading to MN this afternoon, this will be my last trip home where I will be returning to Milwaukee at the end of the weekend...I am going to miss those drives.

Oh...Chicago/Arcade Fire...rocked my face off! If that is my last trip to Chicago before I leave that is totally ok with me.

Bucket List

Milwaukee, in my mind, is quite the delightful city with a lot to do and a lot that I have yet to experience, so I created a bucket list of things that I would like to do before moving.  Yesterday I got to cross two of those things off the list! Though, I now realize, pictures would make this a much more exciting post...i'll work on that.  Anyway, as I was saying, I crossed two things off of my bucket list yesterday!  I finally got to experience a Sobleman Burger and, holy wow, that was delicious, I feel like it is criminal that I have lived in Milwaukee for five years and have never been to Soblemans...but that has been accomplished and it may have to happen again before I leave so there is photo documentation.  I also got to cross off going to Turner Hall's Beer and A Movie which is well, going to Turner Hall, getting a beer and watching a movie.  It may not sound too great if you are not familiar with Turner Hall, but it is actually a really awesome old building that is used for concerts and different shows and now movies and beer.  For $5.00 I got to see Black Swan, and for $4.00 I got to enjoy a tall boy of PBR...I would say it was an evening well spent!

Here are a few other things on my list:
(I'll try keep their status up to date)

- Sky diving
- A tattoo...I am debating on whether or not to reveal of what and the location...
- Jazz in the park
- Riverboat tour that goes to the breweries

- Close Wolski's

- Bum around Chicago for a day

- One last epic dance party at Yield (One needs to partake in said dance party to be able to understand why I need at least one more before I go)

- Grilling shindig on the roof of my apartment

- Brewers Game

- The Mitchell Domes

- Mexican food on the Southside

- Salsa/Swing dancing at the warehouse

- Live outdoor music, anywhere!

Well, that's what I have for now...hopefully I will be able to accomplish these before I head out!

Also, I am going to see Arcade Fire in Chicago tonight which may qualify for taking "Bum around Chicago for a day" off of my list! Yay!

$52.55 Later...

and my documents are on their way to Korea!

Pretty pumped. I am getting so excited about every step, each making this whole moving thing more legit than the last.  It is starting to sink in a little bit that I am actually going...but only a little bit.

I have also started a countdown of sorts...27 days until I am done at the Milwaukee Bar Association...CRAZY!

This is getting a little scary.

Well, here is my first post, hopefully of many.

I just signed my contract today and it is a crazy awesome feeling.  I am doing it, I am going to Korea.  It is a bit surreal, I have been talking about this for so long and now that my plans are finally coming to fruition I really   can't believe it myself.  However, I did just sign my contract today so I am not in Korea...yet.  But these next two months are going to be a crazy adventure as well.  Not only am I packing up my life, leaving my first full time job, saying goodbye to a city, friends and family that I love but, to add a little more excitement to the mix, I am also maid of honor in my sister's wedding which is two days before I leave the states.  

So, for a little while, my posts are going to chronicle the packing and goodbyes and planning and whirlwind of awesome and emotion that will consume my life up until my departure.

Enjoy!
