Daive IS my dog....

but I'm not so obsessed with her that I'd create a whole blog about her. I am starting this blog because I'm not in Korea anymore, so the whole kimchinotforme blog is a little obsolete. Also, the situation in which I find myself does not lend itself well to public blogging. Blogging is an outlet for me, a much-needed outlet, but I need to make sure I can do it without getting myself into trouble. Hence, this is a private blog. I apologize to those of you who are not already on blogger, who now have to keep up with one more username/password because of me. I had to get over myself in thinking it would be entirely arrogant to start a new blog about my life in the US, but I realized how vital blogging can be in keeping up with people. And those of you I sent invites to - I'd like to keep up with you, or have you keep up with me...or something.

So yeah.

Here are some highlights for you:

- Daive is indeed my dog, my sick dog, to be specific. Not entirely sure what's going on - hope to figure it out soon and nip it in the bud.

- I'm about to start medical transcription school online. It's a year-long program, and based on the research I did, one of the best programs out there. It was the first, or one of the first (can't remember) to be accredited. And there is 98% job placement after finishing. AND...I can eventually work at home. Another AND...I can make actual money. Which means that my dream of owning a humble home on enough land in a rural-ish area so I can have two or four dogs is an actual possibility sometime in the future.

- There's more, but that's enough for now. Sorry again for the hassle of this. Thanks for being such exceptional friends though. Love you all!
