- Tonight, I met Sai, Darryl, Liz, Christian, and Joey in Mundeok for dinner. After that though, we went back to Liz’s and hung out on the rooftop for hours. We played games, drank a little, experimented with balance and gravity and learned a lot about each other. And there were numerous references to Friends (Sai is also an expert on the series :D). I was so glad to see them…it had been over a month since I’d hung out with them. I missed my friends. And I realized how lucky I am to have met the friends I have here. Before now, I have recognized how fantastic they are but I’m finally realizing that they have accepted me for who I truly am, faults/weirdness and all. I’m so happy and lucky to have them in my life and hope that post-Korea distance will not prevent us from sustaining our relationships.
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 :)
