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 :)

Mud On My Boots (July 14)

  • Today was Mud Festival day!!! As part of the Adventure Korea group, we got the privilege to go to the Mud Beach. It was a mud pit of massive proportions! At least a kilometer off the coast was all mud. It was so cool and felt just as great as the Wesley Woods mudpit. Oh except for the crabs. I, luckily, didn’t step on one but oooh that would NOT have felt good.




  • After getting beyond dirty, we showered off and were bussed back to the main festival area. There was a line for the mud events, you had to pay to get in and we weren’t too interested in getting dirty again...so, we went swimming in the ocean! It was so fun! Plus it was raining – how often does one get to do THAT? :)
  • Later, while hanging out in the room next to ours, Sai and I discovered that some of the pillows provided for us at our seedy motel are made of straws! Not straw. Cut up pieces of straws.
  • It's amazing to me how many great people I meet here. And equally amazing how many of them I may never see again :(
  • Christian was determined to beat me in the game of Speed. I’m not sure he fully realized how many games Erin and I played during the summers off from middle school. We ended up playing 24 I believe.
