So blogging isn’t my strongest suit, especially when it
comes to writing about what I consider “the every day”, but I apologize for not
being on top of it.
Anyways, Friday marked 2 months
since I’ve been a part of JVC and the time seems to have flown by. It really
seems like just yesterday that we were moving into our “broken” house. I say
“broken” because when we moved in the washer and dryer were both broken and we
had various issues with our kitchen sink (water pressure issues then it
constantly dripping); thankfully those problems have since been resolved and
our house is completely functional now (*knock on wood*).
I really enjoy work. Pre-Odyssey,
which is the preliminary phase to our program for participants to show us that
they are dedicated to being in Odyssey and for us to determine if they’re a
good fit for the program, started October 1st, so it finally feels
like I’m being productive in my job. It was part of my responsibility to plan
education week for Pre-Odyssey, which is next week so hopefully that goes well.
As far as community goes we’ve been
getting along well. We decided to go on “friendship dates” every week in order
to build individual relationships in addition to our community as a whole.
They’ve been a lot of fun; some of mine have included a 16-mile bike ride and
tacos (from Mas Tacos), breakfast at the Nashville Biscuit House and Bagel
Face, and dinner at Puckett Grocery. The weeks have been flying by so it’s been
a great way to get us to focus on spending time with each other as well as
exploring Nashville.
Like I said I’m not great at
blogging, and it doesn’t help that there isn’t Internet at the house (which isn’t
that big of a deal) so I have to be much more intentional about it. Maybe I’ll
get better at updating this throughout the year, but for now, as a warning,
posts will be sporadic.
