so in the last five years since i graduated from college i have:
- spent an amazing summer living in asheville, north carolina teaching at an academic summer camp
- lived in ireland for two years
- graduated with honors with a masters in history
- travelled all around europe while living in ireland
- moved back to the states and spent a hilarious spring in mystic, connecticut
- started working conferences for high school students in washington, dc in summer 2009
- moved back to new jersey and had an incredible first year teaching social studies and coaching
- spent a summer back in connecticut sailing
- been unemployed
- ran my first half marathon
- been a nomad between nj, dc and all over working conferences for middle & high school students
- took off for a 3 week european adventure
- spent a summer living in nova, running conferences for 330 high school students
- moved to charleston, south carolina pretty much for an adventure
- tore my ACL and spent a few months in new jersey
- enjoying living in charleston and just trying to figure out my next step
- travelled to 15 states and 11 countries
- lived in 5 states
- made so many friends and have been so lucky to experience so many great places and adventures
it is kinda crazy how much i've been able to do and see, while my plan wasn't this unstructured i've had fun and i've gotten to travel and experience life which i know when i get the chance again i'll be an amazing teacher because of it
while my next step is still unsure i know i'll be ok. life is one big adventure and i'm just doing my best to live it and take advantage of every opportunity i've been given!

Ooh, I've been meaning to talk to you! My partner is suuuuper keen to move to the USA and thinks that 'real' America is in the South. But as a Cali girl, I don't want to be too south. So through Google Maps, I found Asheville, NC. It looks like it has trees! And real food! And is our comprimise. How did you find it? Will there be any jobs out there for someone with a degree in history? How's the cost of living? If we do end up there, you'll be my only vauge connection!

Sheesh! That's exhausting just reading that! You have been to so many places, seen so many things, and experienced so much. Sometimes it makes me wonder if having a full-time job right out of school is overrated...
Crazy to think you've been out of college now, longer than you were in it!? Next year is 10 years out of HS. Out of control.
