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 :)

Better & Better (Mar 8)

  • All of our kids were better today. A combination of absences and random schedule changes meant we had a class of grades 2/3 and a class of grade 6. The 6th graders were my and Ji Hyeon's favorite! There were only 3 of them, so that was nice in the first place. One of them brought me and Ji Hyeon cookies before class! They tried really hard to speak English, used phrases we taught them ("Yes ma'am" to us instead of "Yes sir"), and were excited and interested in the videos I showed them about Michigan. Oh and the one that brought me the cookie was really amused that my eyes weren't brown. (He was staring at me for a few minutes and then said, "Your eyes!" I said, "Yes, they're blue" and opened them wide so he could see.) It was really fun, which is nice because it was so not fun on Wednesday.
  • Backstreet Boys on Oprah in English on Korean TV!
  • Dinner 1 tonight = Oreos and sweets. Dinner 2 = stirfry. Nom nom nom :)
  • There was a cockroach in my apt tonight! AHH! I was hoping the spray that was on the counter when I moved in was just a precaution...but apparently not :/
