Training in Helena: So it begins

Today, I left Miles City around eleven and managed to make it to Helena in a reasonable amount of time, even through a rain storm and crazy drivers. When it rains here, it really rains. There's a lot more lightning than in Wisconsin, and the winds seemed a lot stronger. It was sort of nerve racking... I need to get my wipers replaced.

I checked into the hotel, and ran into Susan, someone who is also VISTA-ing in Miles City. She told me to check in so Montana Legal Services, the system that Custer Network Against Domestic Abuse (CNADA) works under, would know that I was there... It proved to be a bit tedious, but it worked out. After getting through the mess, I made it back to my hotel room, met some other VISTA people, and the six of us went out for dinner and made bad beer related jokes. It was fun, and I wound up hitting it off with some of them. Yay for new friends!

I was unable to catch up with Amy, one of my grandma's "husband's" daughters, but I'm hoping that we will be able to get dinner or something later this week.

I'm really hoping that, after this week, my car will be able to make it back to Miles City. Upon returning there, I shall upload more photos from Helena to my Facebook album.
