Edgerton

So today was my first time in Edgerton. It was about a 2 hour drive from my house in Kingman going east on hwy 14. It was a nice little drive and there is some beautiful country around the town. Edgerton has three restaurants (which I thought was super cool), aswell as two churches, two banks, a school, a library, a curling rink and hockey rink, post office, hotel, two liquor stores, UFA, and a museum.  They also have a lovely little 12 site campground, which will be my home for the next 3 months. I also learned that only 15 minutes away there is 3 lakes. I checked them out today, they are really nice, and hopefully I'll be able to get some swimming in. I really look forward to my summer in Edgerton and can't wait till Tuesday when the real work begins.
p.s picture's are to come.

work is soon to start

Well I have formally finished my first week in the Rural Capacity Internship. Last week was an adventure as I got to better know my fellow interns; from scavenger hunts to lectures to blogging and video making. On friday I was able to meet my community partner. It was exciting to finally learn what I will be doing. It sounds like I will be wearing many hat; from youth programing, to senior events, to policy and anything and everything around town. I am excited to begin. This week will be sort of slow, since I will be working out of home, but come next week the fun will begin. Can't wait, this summer will be interesting.

Today is the first day of my Rural Internship. I am yet to know what exactly I will be doing, but I have a blog so you all will know when I know.
