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 :)

Crank Dat Spiderman (July 9)

  • I told my 6th graders today that Teacher Ji Hyeon’s and my last day will be next Thursday. Woo Seok cheered. Da Bin and Ah Yeong were neutral. But Dae Han, my favorite, was truly shocked. And he left class in a very sad mood, complaining of a headache from the air conditioner – but seriously, is that even a thing? I will actually miss him. And it was the first sensation of sadness regarding leaving my school that I’ve gotten :(
  • Winter and I had dinner on the 6th floor of HomePlus. It wasn’t superb but Winter got her favorite food :) And I found one of the little places up there serves smoothies for 1500-2500K! They are labeled juice but the way she blends the ice and fruit makes it all smoothie-like. And, since it’s just ice and fruit, it’s good for you!
  • Ingrid and I met back at HomePlus for a movie date. And, oh Lord, we saw a Korean girl mixing Western and Korean fashion in all the wrong ways - a totally revealing top (dipping down so far I could see her bra) and incredibly short shorts. Not the way to create your own look, girl. Anyways...first, Ingrid and I went back to the new smoothie place and then headed upstairs to the theater. We used a combination of a coupon and my Happy Money gift certificate to buy the tickets - which means I actually made 2000K! Haha. Then we bought yummy yummy popcorn...Korean theaters (or, at least CGV) serve KETTLE CORN!!! It was so yummy. And we managed to make it last for at least an hour into the movie! Nice-uh. As for the movie itself. OH. MY GOD. The Amazing Spiderman was truly amazing. The music was beautiful, the special effects were great, the storyline was gripping (I totally almost cried twice), the secondary characters were wonderful (Sally Field and Martin Sheen :)) and the chemistry between Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone is ridiculously fantastic. It was absolutely as good as The Avengers - if RDJ weren't in it, Spiderman would win. Ingrid and I were totally ridiculous throughout the movie – we talked, laughed, yelped, gasped, messed our hair because of the strange positions we found ourselves in after particularly riveting parts - and most likely annoyed ALL the Koreans in the theater :) Oh but it was soooooo worth it. And I have decided that if I can't have Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone can. I guess I can be nice like that.
