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 :)

More Than A Feeling (Aug 12)

  • It's kind of the best feeling ever when your students run at you and attack-hug you because they've missed you in the 8 months since you've seen them. Makes all the problems seem small and reminds me why I love what I do :)
  • The next best feeling is when one of your new students says, "Emily, you're nothing like what everyone said! You aren't mean!" I like scaring the newbies a little ;)
  • Also, having a Bestest that loves one of the things you love most and will help you write choreography on a Sunday morning is awesome.
