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 :)

Island In The Sun (June 22)

  • I couldn’t sleep on the morning bus ride to Nami Island (the 2nd part of our culture trip) – but that means I got to see the beautiful mountains and valleys that we drove through :)
  • Once we arrived at Nami Island, we had a chance to explore by ourselves. Abby and I took our time walking around the less populated areas and it was so pretty. It kind of reminded me of Mackinac Island, because it has some historically and culturally significant things, as well as gift shops and a hotel. Afterwards, we met at a restaurant back on the mainland before heading our separate ways. Even though a lot of this trip was spent on a bus it was nice to see/hang out with friends and meet/hang out with new people.
  • Originally, one bus was going to Seoul and 2 buses were going back to Daegu. At the rest stop, they told us that one would be going straight back to Pohang instead! Yay! Free charter bus home? Yes please! And there were only 6 of us on it, which was fun. Thank you, POE.
  • After we arrived back in Pohang, Abby, Ashley, Julie and I went to my apartment, rested and then went to a party at Tilt. Nothing spectacular, but a it was a fun way to spend a Friday night. Plus, we ran into a girl that Abby and I each had a class with at Eastern! She teaches with EPIK in Boryeong and knows a girl we know in Pohang from their orientation – wow, small world!
