The Fun of Paperwork

Today is a paperwork day for me. I'm going to go visit the Georgia State Superior court Clerks office. I have to get some of my documents apostilled or otherwise known as a really fancy notarization. I'm hoping it's as easy as my criminal background check was, and getting that notarized.
I'm also sorting through the stack of documents I've been collecting to make sure I have all of them before I send them off to Canada and my recruiter. I have copies of transcripts, health checks, criminal backgrounds, copies of my passport pages, forms verifying that I've got the teaching experience I say I have. Let's just say that the red tape is quite lengthy but it will be worth it when I get on a plane in August and take off on this adventure.
Things are getting more and more concrete with the end of the school year, turning in notice on my apartment and starting to sort and pack and sell things. There isn't really any turning back now. I'm excited but scared. This is a huge step but I know I can't let a chance like this pass me by.
Hopefully by this time next week I will have all of my documents and I will be able to send them off and get back a firm date for departure. This uncertainly is not sitting well but I know it will all work out in the end.
