Six months ago I was driving across the Western United States wondering what the hell I was doing. I was about to embark on a journey across the globe and away from my friends and family. I was going to teach English in South Korea. I found my way to Illinois and saw off family and friends. I left on a high note after the marriage of two amazing people and discovered what it felt like to be touched once again. I boarded a plane the next day.
Flash-forward to November 21, 2005. I am sitting in Boston in a small room that has been sequestered to me through the graces of the same amazing people mentioned above. I am searching for employment and attempting to establish myself once again. I suppose that this might sound like I’m complaining to those of you who don’t know me too well. Those of you who do will most likely notice the pattern and chuckle a “Figures…” at this point. What I want you to know is that I truly appreciate all of you who have commented and let me know that you are reading my blog and care about what I’m doing, even if it was just for amusement.
I have done a lot in the past few months and will continue in that manner I’m sure. I hope that you will all carry me in your thoughts and emails (because we all know that I’ve forgotten how to send physical correspondence, right?) as you will be in mine.
I wish you all the best in your own adventures and hope that you are able to track me down one way or another so that we can all have a laugh reminiscing about The Nuprin Diaries.

It's nice to be around people who love you huh? Oh and, wait, you are still going to be writing in here right? Can't wait to hear about more of your adventures.
