Yes, I'm still alive - just vastly prefer hipster Tumblr these days.
Rearrange these in the order in which they've happened in your life.
Things that have happened:
Get a cell phone (2001)
Get drunk for the first time (2002, drinking caipirinhas at 15 with my aunt Susan in Rio de Janeiro.)
Graduate high school (2004)
Start college (2004)
Graduate college (2008)
Meet who you hoped was your significant other but wasn’t (2006 and 2007 - this happened twice.)
Move out of parent’s house for good (2009 - when I left for Korea last year and vowed to work towards complete financial independence and a debt-free lifestyle.)
Become gainfully employed (2008, as a stringer for People.)
Things that haven't happened to me yet which means I'm not a REAL ADULT ZOMGGGGGGG:
Meet significant other
Get married
Get divorced
Buy a house
Get Pregnant
Have baby #1
Have baby #2
Have baby #3
Have baby #4
Welp, I sound like a baby in terms of life milestones, huh?
General life update: things are just swimming in Korea. The new school year started March 1st and I am loving the new pre-k and kindergarten babies in my classrooms. I've definitely committed to teaching as a career, and am considering pursuing TESOL certification with the international Cambridge/Oxford CELTA program as well as a Master's in Education for stateside certification. Not sure if ESL is going to be my life-long career choice, but teaching definitely is and I'm so glad I chose to stay in Korea another year. There are so many lovely things about this country you only get to notice with time.
