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 :)

Dear Mr. President (Feb 12)

  • TaLK offers mini-cultural trips on the weekends and today we went to CheongNomDae, which is basically the vacation home for Korea's presidents. We were able to tour the house (the current president doesn't visit it), along with part of the grounds...Shelby and walked 1.5 (of the shortest) of 5 paths. It was really beautiful. Almost like a forest in MI actually! It also reminded me a little of when PP and I gave ourselves a self-guided tour of the EMU President's House, when no one was living there ;)

High-five for Michigan! (And you know, being in Korea)

The presidents
  • I ate my very first corndog at dinner tonight! It's a little weird that that happened for me in Korea...
