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 :)

By Myself But Not Alone (Mar 12)

  • Tonight I had dinner at a restaurant down my street. There was so much food but I managed to eat all 9 dishes by myself! (I'm going to miss getting that much food for $6 when I get back to the US.) And yes, I was by myself, but it was okay. Whether on purpose or inadvertently, the owner sat near me and read the newspaper while I ate.
  • I’m creating a new verb: “K-popped”...and I’ve been K-popped. Someone had a status that said, “rain=<3” and I immediately thought of Rain.
  • I finally found my motivation to get a real teaching job...so I can afford to visit all of my new friends all over the world. No joke, as soon as I have $10,000, I’m buying a ticket to Seoul for NYE/Sunrise Festival (lots of people will still be here), and then Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa and Turkey for the summer :) I literally have not felt an incentive to get a full-time job until now.

    I think the ability to eat by yourself is a skill that is really difficult to come by, good for you!!!
