Visa Resolution and the Korean Consulate General

So after the confusion with my visa and trying to get routed through the Korean Consulate of Houston sans a plane ticket from Tucson to Texas and moving my visa application to the LA consulate I have resolution. So I talk to the LA consulate today and speak with a lady who says can you pick up your visa tomorrow? I say sure, when is my interview? What a crazy way to stick the horse after the cart. So about thirty minutes later the Korean consulate general calls me up and the "interview" goes like this:
KCG: What did you do before?
Me: Accounting
KCG: When did you graduate?
Me: August 2007
KCG: Last year, ok. Is your health and medical still okay?
Me: Yes.
KCG: You are going to Daegu?
Me: Yeah, Daegu.
KCG: When are you planning on leaving?
Me: Tomorrow if possible.
KCG: WOW! How did you get your passport and visa?
Me: I got my passport a long time ago when I went and travelled around Europe.
KCG: Okay, I approve Korean Visa. *click*

more impatience and waiting

So.... after expecting to be flying out on Friday and waiting for the Korean Consulate in Houston to make up their mind and give me a call back to schedule my exit interview (which is technically a formality) they called me back today... They set up my interview for next Tuesday at 2pm. Fine, so I go and get it knocked out and fly out that night. Not so much. After talking to Darren, my ERG contact setting up this whole thing, I called the consulate back to make sure that I would get my passport back after the interview so I could fly out that evening. I called them back and they said they couldn't give it back to me that quickly, there was no way of assuring that I would be get my visa approved (which I understand has already happened) and get my passport ready. So Wednesday would be the "soonest" they could get it back. Called Darren back and said I could stay in Houston so I could get my passport and fly out that Wednesday night. He then informed me that the Korean Consulate of Houston was the absolute worst embassy to deal with in the U.S., what a comfort... So here I am with time on my hands and waiting for Tuesday to arrive. I want to get over there now please ok thanks. Until I have anything new to report... I'll talk to you later.

Waiting

Now I'm not really sure how this whole process goes, but I figured I may as well start keeping tabs on the daily life and other randomness. So here I am waiting in Tucson for the mailman... I've never wanted to see the mail show up so desperately before. I just want to see that package saying Republic of Korea Immigration blah blah blah. So I sit here loading music onto my computer and try and configure my new laptop and all of its toys while packing and sitting on my butt.

****update******
Well, after a busy day after lunch ended... I have my visa app off again to Houston where I will be interviewing tentatively on Friday and then later that night flying off to Korea... 4 more days in the States! Gotta get busy... more later.
