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 :)

Eyeball Tickler

  • Happy 11.11.11! How cool :)
  • To celebrate 11.11.11 at 11:11 a.m., Cara and Melissa and I did 11 things, including toe touches, jumping jacks, unclapping, and elbow-knees.
  • I got the email telling me I am officially going to Korea! It's still surreal. But I really appreciate all the support I've gotten, both after telling people in person and the response on my FB. I love my family and friends.
  • I worked an event at the museum tonight (not an Outreach event) and I got to assist with cow eyeball dissection! It was my first dissection ever and I was the only one in the room, including all the students, who hadn't done it before. The most beautiful part was the color of the reflective layer at the back of the eye (that helps the cow see at night). It was an amazing iridescent blue/green and I've never seen anything like it before.
