After a long and adruous search for a place to stay for my last month in town before my externship, my friend let me know about a summer camp in Canby that was mostly vacant for the winter and was willing to let me stay for the time before I leave for Atlanta. So on a blustery Friday right before Christmas I moved to summer camp. My assumption about where I was going to be living was totally based on my childhood experiences with summer camp. Once I got there I discovered that instead of staying in an unheated cabin I had a very nice “studio apartment in the woods” I have my own huge bathroom and an awesome heater and even WIFI. Not so bad for summer camp. The only downside is that the only kitchen I have to use is practically on the other side of camp. So that has led to some interesting adventures like the first night I tried to find the kitchen in the dark in a windstorm and felt like my life had suddenly turned into a horror movie. Now I make my friends who live there walk me to my cabin in the dark and they make lots of jokes about me getting eaten by a bear. It seems like things have finally calmed down for me and I can focus on getting ready to leave for my externship
This began as a project for my communications class and is now the chronicle of this new adventure of leaving everything I know in order to chase my dreams in Atlanta. I will be working with a non profit after school program to create a nutrition education program, I will be working with students who live in government funded housing and survive on food stamps . these kids have a desperate need for nutrition education and more than that for someone to take the time to recognize their potential

Sounds like an adventure! It also sounds like you've got some change and transition happening and you're meeting it with a hopeful attitude. I hope the next few months of externship bring a relief of those concerns and that you can simply focus on externship and being awesome in the kitchen. Good luck!
