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 :)

How To Be A Millionaire (Mar 26)

  • Even though Winter ate lunch at home today, I was able to have an actual conversation in English about my trip to Seoul with Office Guy and Girl! It was really exciting. They both know way more English than they give themselves credit for – and I’m glad they are starting to show that to me! It’s taken a few weeks, but if it’s like this now, I can imagine it will only get better throughout the rest of my experience.
  • I’m a Korean millionaire! I got my first paycheck and the currency here is about 1000 Won to every $1. Since I’m getting paid about $1500 a month that means there are a LOT of numbers in the amount of my bank account balance…however arbitrary they actually are.
  • Had to say goodbye to PP and Anna tonight :( It was really sad for a lot of reasons – but also, this is the closest we’ve been to living together since being in the apartment. And I miss living with them. More sleepovers when I get back.
