The Big Move

I moved back to Appalachia today (Monday), but this time I'm not here with ASP.  My employment situation is a little hard to explain (I don't fully understand it yet), but I'll try.  I am being paid by the Kentucky branch of Americorps- called Buildcorps, and interchangeably (?), the Housing and Homeless Coalition of Kentucky- the HHCK.  They are placing me in a nonprofit where I will work for the next 12 months.  The nonprofit is called the Housing Development Alliance and is based in Hazard, KY.  Hazard is a little over an hour south of West Liberty where I spent this past summer.  My decision to take the job and move to  Kentucky was a little impulsive but I'm still very excited.  I am living in the upstairs apartment of a house in downtown Hazard, and am in the process of settling in.  My job should be less hectic than my summers at ASP, much more like a real M-F 9-5 kind of deal... so that should leave plenty of time for blogging!  I start work on Wednesday and should know more about my position then, and I'll spend tomorrow setting up utilities, unpacking, and exploring Hazard.
