The Adventures of an Unemployed College Grad: Banana Split (Nov 18)

I'm not unemployed anymore - I actually have a very fabulous job as a preschool teacher with the University of Michigan child care centers. But I'm still posting, albeit a little more irregularly, and I don't want to ignore the personal progress I've made since starting this blog by renaming it.

Blog inspiration: I read 48 States in 48 Days by Paul Jury in the summer of 2011. It was fabulous...although he planned way less for his roadtrip than I would have. And at the same time, my lovely Anna was constantly reminding me that our lives were awesome, despite the fact that we didn't have job prospects, new cars, boyfriends/husbands, houses, etc., like so many people we knew. So, in an effort to appreciate my life and the crazy uncertainty that it is, I started writing this blog about the little adventures I have. (And by "writing a blog," I mean "making a list" because I make lists, not narratives.) Even if there isn't a BIG adventure that happens every day, I try to find at least one thing to list :)

Banana Split (Nov 18)

I met with the teacher I'm subbing for, starting after Thanksgiving, and we had a much better 2nd impression. Also, she was so excited for me about Korea! It was fun.
While talking to me on Skype, Anna accidentally called her cell phone (from her Skype) and then proceeded to hang up on herself.
Banana bread lessons:

I like having people to taste my batter before it's made.
I used a Bundt pan for the first time tonight!
I love that I clean up as I go when I'm baking. It's so much easier than making a giant mess. And since I hate messes, they aren't that fun for me anyways.
