Back to School: South Nashville Edition

Did you know that the University of Tennessee has a Nashville campus in South Nashville? Yep, in a generic office building on Polk Ave the UT College of Social Work shares space with several businesses. That is where today I will begin to pursue a Masters of Science in Social Work.

I'm a bit terrified, overwhelmed, as it's been 6 years since I've stepped foot in a classroom. But mostly I'm excited to start on a path towards a career dedicated to the things that I try to promote, through this blog, in my spare time anyway. That is, the importance of communication as a means to the betterment of communities and the well-being of the individuals in them. What exactly I'll do job-wise after school I'm not yet clear on.

This does mean that I will be leaving the music business, although not immediately. Financial circumstances require that I keep working. Unfortunately, between work full-time, school part-time, a continued commitment to SNAP, and this blog, something's gotta give.

I don't plan to neglect SNL altogether, but it's likely I won't be posting everyday, or every week for that matter. I will continue to advocate for the restoration of Browns Creek and for a redeveloped, greener TN State Fairgrounds that will serve a better purpose for the residents of South Nashville. I hope that people will continue to use this website as a resource as they explore South Nashville.

When I started this blog, I did not anticipate making so many wonderful friends & acquaintances through it, for which I am so, so grateful. Thank you so much for putting up with my quirkiness, thank you so much for reading, and most of all, thank you for participating in this community.
