The Road to Jackson

Hey Everyone,

The last few weeks have been insane. I graduated from Claremont McKenna College with a degree in Middle East Studies, spent a week at home, drove across the country, and moved into a house in Jackson, Mississippi. Tomorrow, I start my first job in the real world. For the next two years, I'll be based in Jackson and traveling around the south professionally, working with different Jewish communities on their Jewish education programs.  I'll know way more about what the job specifically entails after tomorrow (hopefully). 

The next two years are bound to be interesting. I'm a California girl through and through, and I'm about to spend a good amount of time living in a completely different part of the country. This blog will be the place that I share stories and attempt to process my life in the South. 

Here goes nothing. Wish me luck!


The Road to Jackson

i am a california hippie

on the road to mississippi

there isn’t too much traffic

only sky

i am a california baby

in a mississippi daydream

my window’s down

on highway 55

so i’ll just drive

radio blasting

til i’m in jackson

the road to jackson

I am a california story

seeking Mississippi glory

i’m different though my flag’s

red white and blue

I am a california dreamer

on a mississippi steamer

i’ll roll on down the river

with my jews

so I’ll just cruise

radio blasting

til i’m in jackson

the road to jackson

[note: search mississippi steamer on urbandictionary.com. I swear i didn't know when i wrote it]
