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 :)

Andrew Variations (July 17)

  • Wow, only 2 days left at school! Can't say that I'll miss it too much and I'm quite sure I won't get teary-eyed when I leave. However, I WwILL miss seeing and working with Winter, some of the things my kids do (like the trouble-makers who still say "Hello Teacher!" as they enter class and "Goodbye Teacher!" as they leave class, no matter what happened that day or the day before), the lunches, Hye Sun and Office Guy, and the continuity of going to work every afternoon. Ah well. Change is good, right? For the first time, I might actually be embracing that concept.
  • Dinner with Sai, Winter, Liz, Jeannie, Sarah and Brittany. I am so so grateful that I still have a lot of time to see my friends before leaving.
  • Spiderman, take 2, with Liz tonight! Just as good as the first time around. I'll leave yo uwith this little gem as I head off to bed:
AND he's grounded <3
