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 :)

New Friend Request (Mar 7)

  • Today was a bad day with the kids but I'm going to focus on the good things that happened instead.
  • Some of my 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students came into class early today and it was really fun to talk to them and try to get them to talk to me in English (and talk to them a little in Korean...they thought it was really funny).
  • I met the other English teacher at my school! She teaches English like a special (like music or art). A few minutes into our conversation, she asked if she could be my Facebook friend. It was so cute! She's really sweet, let me vent about the school and the students and interpreted for me a little. I can't wait to introduce her to Ji Hyeon (Mi Hye only comes on Wednesdays, one of the days that Ji Hyeon doesn't work) and hang out with her more.
  • The Girl who works in the office told us at lunch that she's getting married in June and wants to invite us! I'm so excited! It will be SO COOL to go to a Korean wedding!
  • I need to go to bed before 3 a.m...
