Tour info and updated blog look

Hey guys!

Sorry it took a while for me to update the blog. I've been working on the way it looks etc. Now that I am satisfied, I can just concentrate on writing.

The tour was pretty interesting! Grafton actually has a lot to offer us. The day I went there was a winter carnival going on. People were making sculptures with the snow on the ground and color dye.

We saw the dorms (I didn't get any pictures of those, but I will get you some later). They are 4 to a room, with 1 bathroom per room. We also get a closet/locker and a couple drawers. Not too much storage room. When we leave for training each day, all pillows etc. have to be in our locker, so remember that when you are packing! Space is wicked limited.

Besides seeing the dorms, we also saw the rec room, (I didn't get pics of this either, sorry!). They had pool tables and a GORGEOUS fire place in there! I can't wait to get pics for you guys of that!

Something I did learn is that after the training day, there are a bunch of activities for us to do. They don't want us sitting around the dorms doing nothing though, so be prepared for that! We pretty much will be keeping busy the whole time.

Not many other pictures, but I did get the front sign and the welcome center

as well as the Culinary Arts building and the building where we will spend around the first 2 months each day

I wish I could've taken more pictures for you all, but the camera I had with me has really slow shutter time, so it wasn't too easy to do. I hope to be able to get more pictures for you in the future though.

I also learned that I will not be able to carry my cell phone OR camera with me throughout the day. This means less pictures to go on here, but I will do my best to try to get you guys as many as possible.

I'm now just basically waiting for when I start. Hopefully I am going to be able to start getting stuff together for when I get the very short notice that I'm going to be starting the program.

I'm still nervous, but I'm sure it'll pass soon.

Well, see you guys later!
