Just wanted to post an update as to why my blog has been so quiet since August 6th (fly out date). The internet where we are stationed on Perry Point, Maryland has had very slow and is often unreliant when trying to use it at all. That being said, it is a very nice campus where we are currently. We are stationed for training at the VA Hospital on Perry Point, just south of Perryville.
The Atlantic Region campus for AmeriCorp will be moving to a newly built facility in Baltimore at some point in the future, but until then we are based here at the VA Hospital. I do have to say, outside of the slow and unreliable internet, the VA Hospital has a really beautiful site. I hope to be able to post pictures soon, and will be linking to the Photobucket. Thus far, we have been busy with training Monday - Friday often going from eight in the morning till 5. The nice thing however is that while we are training, we have the weekends off to spend as we see fit [for the most part].
Just be aware, unless one of the Team Leaders has agreed to transport a group of Corp Members on an all ages trip, you are responsible for paying for cab fare although it can be split if you find a couple other people who want to go the same place. Wally World as we call Walmart here is a popular shopping place. Within my first week and a half, I have been there a number of times already just to get some stuff at the start, although I hope to only have to go back once more to buy a new phone for the rest of the month.
In the future, I plan to update this blog more. Until we move to Baltimore or until I get access to a better internet connection and computer like device, I may be posting a number of "back order" blog posts at once. I appologise for this in advance for those who get a number of "new post updates" one after another, I hope it can be changed once the internet connection ability improves. Until then, every post will be unique, hopefully meaningful/interesting while I deal with the less then decent internet. It will get better soon.
More posts to come. Read; comment; send me questions about AmeriCorp (on the right of the screen), and if you enjoy the blog, feel free to enter your email (also on the right) and you will be notified when more posts are published. Use an email you can check, I promise not to spam or give out emails; spam-mail bugs me at least if not more that it may you. More to come.
