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 :)

Network of Friends (Mar 4)

  • Ji Hyeon and I managed to make dinner by ourselves, despite neither of us being cooking-inclined! We bought everything at the market and it was pretty cheap, considering it will make more than one meal :)
  • Talking with my TaLK friends on Skype over the past 2 days has made me feel a lot better. It’s great to hear their voices (or chat in real time) and it’s really nice to know I’m not the only one struggling and that I’m not doing it alone. I’m so glad I have all of these amazing people around me and I’m really grateful that the orientations gave me this great support network.
  • I looked at the tag on my travel towel and it was made in Korea!
  • HP1, the first Narnia AND Sherlock were on TV in English today...no words to describe that happiness (someday my life will be cooler, where Sherlock playing English is NOT the best thing that happens all day...).
  • After those great movies, I watched a new Sherlock...upon further research, Anna and I found out it’s a BBC mini-series. It was just as fantastic as the movies and I need to see all of the episodes.
