When I reflect on my first couple weeks at the Clark County Extension office, the first word that comes to mind is busy. My first week consisted of district staff meeting, teen leadership meeting, and two days out on a farm teaching kids all about agriculture. The second and third week's theme was “camp”. With camp only a week away there was plenty to get done. Whether it is counselor training, camper orientation, or many supply shopping trips. Some days ended at 4:30 and a lot of days ended well past office hours. Either way, I found myself loving every minute of it. However, between the classroom visits, field trip planning, shopping trips, camp planning, and meetings and meetings and meetings, busy is what I’ve felt.
I’ve learned that if this is busy, then this is the best kind of busy. In between all the meetings and planning, the staff here still finds time to stop and laugh. Things never get too serious. One thing I’ve learned though after my first month as an intern is, “There is no such thing as too busy. If you really want something, you’ll make time for it.” Which I know rings true for each agent in this office and across the state.
