Hi there, welcome to my first attempt at writing a blog entry. In case you haven't heard, I'm going to spend the next year in Japan teaching English at a medical school. That's right, I have somehow managed to procure a (semi) real job, and have decided to document my experiences as a contributing member of society right here.
I leave for Japan on August 22nd, so stay tuned until then. For now, I'll leave you with the sentiment printed on the front of my favorite graduation card:
"For the college graduate. The dreams of generations of African Americans lie behind you on a foundation of courage, love, tears, and joy..."
Perhaps I should enclose a picture of myself the next time I send graduation announcements out to distant relatives....
