The First Post

So I've told several people that I would try and have a blog during my time in Oakland, CA as a Jesuit Volunteer, and the only way I will accomplish this is through actually creating one. And so here it is: My Blog!

I still don't have much information about next year, but I just booked my flight to orientation for August 7 from Philly to San Jose (both my parents separately referenced this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZuOgEptHcU). For right now, all I know is that I will be a Nursing Assistant/Orientation Counselor for Thunder Road Adolescent Treatment Centers, Inc. I am still waiting to know where exactly I will be living and with whom I will be living, but I figure I need to be patient.

I've never blogged before, so I really do not know how I will stylize this blog nor do I know how often I will post (I hope to post often, but I may be without direct internet access for the next year, which is the problem).

To add some substance to this post, here are the web addresses for the Jesuit Volunteer Corps. (JVC) and for Thunder Road:

p.s. I don't know if there is any relation between my place of employment and this Bruce Springsteen song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-hF_QrvfR0&feature=fvst
