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 :)

Leaving On A Jet Plane (Feb 4/5)

  • I took off from Detroit at about 12:15 pm on February 4 and landed in Incheon, Korea at about 4:00 pm February 5. After a bus ride, check-in and a trip to the convenience store, I am ready to crash. Sleeping and relaxing is on the agenda for tomorrow, so that I'm all ready for orientation to start on Tuesday.
  • Our flight path today went over/near the North Pole to save time and gas by using the jet streams. I wish I was by a window so I could have seen more - but it was sunny the whole flight!
  • There was a lot of excitement among our group, both at the airport and on the bus today :)
  • I was super awesome as I checked my bags and wouldn't let the guy charge me for a 2nd bag when my ticket said I could bring 2. And I didn't even cry. It was exciting.
