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 :)

Buddha's Delight (Feb 27)

  • I know I've said this many times, but I really like when people call me "Em" :)
  • Today, I saw the tallest Buddha statue in South Korea. It was built in hope of peace between North and South Korea.
  • Then, we had an anticlimactic trip to Daegu - but I hope to return soon for more adventures.
  • Met my Korean co-teacher! She's very sweet and we really hit it off right away. We talked a lot, were sad to leave each other during lecture and did KPop together...I can't wait to spend more time with her :)
  • Did some more KPop dancing tonight! A group of 6 guys from one of the universities came to teach us. It wasn't as fun as last time, mostly because the guy who was teaching us was really timid and I don't think he'd ever taught anyone before ever, even though he was a great dancer. We broke into 6 groups and each group did a different dance, and it was fun to see the other groups' choreography (though none of us really did that well).
