- Lesson-planning workshops were a little hard to get through today. But in the Reading lecture, we got to spend all of our time with our teams and it was a lot of fun. We were told to act like 10-year-old Korean children, so we did. And when we had to make lesson plans or do the activities, we were all on the same page - equal parts putting in effort and not caring :) The other good thing was that I presented/taught part of our lesson and our coordinator told me at dinner that my teaching "was great, just brilliant" (he's British). And a girl in our group came up to me in our hallway to compliment me too. It was nice to hear that!
- K-POP DANCING! This week, our post-lecture classes are K-Pop dancing and kite-making. I was so excited to do K-Pop so, even though there were a ton of people signed up, I was going to be there :) We learned 0:22-1:38 of the choreography from 2NE1's "I Am The Best" and it was so much fun! I needed the movement after all the sitting we've had to do the last few weeks, and I wanted to dance. It was hard and we/I definitely didn't look like the girls in 2NE1. But one of the guys did say to me, "Someone has a dance background"...I love that :)
- After K-Pop, we went bowling with our Awesome Group 5 (lots of love to our Group :)). It was a fun and chill way to just hang out, outside of class.
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 :)
