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 :)

Peace Like A River (July 15)

Timing didn’t work out for us to do mud activities today, but it was okay since we did such awesome stuff yesterday. Sai, Christian, Liz, Jeanette and I lounged around in our room until we had to check out and then basically wandered around Boryeong until our scheduled departure. It was also cool to see the tide difference along the beach throughout the day. AND I ran into a guy wearing a Michigan Marching Band t-shirt! He was representing a world peace organization and wanted me to sign his petition – but I was totally distracted by his shirt! And told him I’d sign the petition if he’d take a picture with me. Turns out he wasn’t from Michigan and didn’t know anyone in the MMB, he just liked the shirt (even though it was just plain block letters embroidered). Oh well.
I really hope I get a chance to get Korean honey pancakes again before I leave. I had them at a rest stop a couple weeks ago and tried to get some today but the lady did not have any, even though her sign said she did. Rude.
We stayed in Daegu for dinner and went to a restaurant that serves some pretty good American food – including REAL breakfast food! It was pretty fabulous, especially since I had been craving some this weekend :)
This weekend seemed to be some kind of threshold, between being in Korea and getting ready to leave Korea. I can’t believe I only have 3 weeks left – WHAT??? HOW did that happen?
