Hi everyone! This past weekend was my first weekend on campus and I had no intentions of making any plans or doing anything whatsoever, and I did just that. I caught up on sleep and explored campus a little. Yesterday was Monday, and I just did a lot of reading again. I must say, I'm becoming quite the expert on agriculture in India. Today was exciting! BIG NEWS: I finally got a cubicle, so no more moving around for me. I got to sit in on a meeting of Cornell interns talking about their nutrition survey that they are going to test tomorrow in a village. The best part is: they invited me to come with to see what it is like. So of course I said yes and tomorrow I'll be going to a village about two hours away. I can't express how excited I am to get out of the office. Dr. Bantilan wanted to meet with me today, and in our meeting she talked to me about my passions and I told her education and youth in agriculture is what I what I want to spend the rest of my career doing. She suggested that when I go to the village tomorrow that I talk and ask kids if they think agriculture is important, if they want to be involved in agriculture when they grow up, what their dreams and aspirations are, etc. I seriously can't wait to go tomorrow. I finally took some pictures of my room so here's the long awaited tour!
Thanks everyone for reading!
