This is the first day of my life.

So. I am in another new city. I have relocated to Tennessee for the next twelve months (at least) to serve as an AmeriCorps Vista. I am living in Nashville and working in Columbia. I've been here for five days now, and the city has been wonderful. I am living with a friend, so it is less lonely and infinitely more fun. I can't wait to see more of the city and fall in love with it. My work days during the week last from 8am-6pm, including the long drive to Columbia. Hopefully next week I will have more to do at work once school starts and the kids are actually here, at the Boys and Girls Club, after school. Because right now, it's pretty bleak. And silent. 

I don't think I am very well suited to a desk job. Especially one with very little (or mundane) work to do. I will have to figure that one out, what I am going to do long-term. Especially if I want to stay in non-profits for a while longer. Sitting at a computer all day is not very gratifying.
