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 :)

Alone But Not Alone (June 26)

  • Had a rather rough day at school - with the kids, ourselves and MT - but Winter and I pulled through and at the end of it, we were still on the same team, which was a great feeling. And we chilled at my apt after, snacking on chicken, cookies and plums.
  • Had bibimbap for dinner at the HomePlus building. Look how much food I can get for 5k won (about $4)! I love it!

  • I wandered around the 4th floor and HomePlus for a little while. I really just love being there and I don't know why. All my friends know how much time I spend there and think it's really funny. On my way out, I ran into Ashley! I don't know how we managed that but it was great. I just saw her on Sunday but I missed her already :)
  • It's amazing how much more comfortable I am doing things alone since coming to Korea. Sometimes, I actually prefer it. I don't have to be accountable to contribute to coversations and I can move through meals or stores at my own pace. However, no way could I do it forever or all the time...I love my friends and family too much.
