This is the first of a series of posts about my time in Colorado. We worked six days a week and there wasn't much time to write new blog posts, so here goes.
Entertainment for days off:
On days off depending on how many days you are working and how busy you are at work, you may feel inclined to spend your off day/s relaxing and taking it easy. When it comes to entertainment, many blogs have suggested local libraries as a place to borrow movies and books to enjoy for days off. However, with the chances of short notices when it comes to changing housing could make it hard to return library material.
My suggestion, look into Redbox as a way to borrow movies on the weekends or your day/s off. Also, consider signing up for Netflix once you finish training if you are working with FEMA and getting the blackberry that has a mobile WiFi hotspot. Both of these options can be cheap ways to enjoy movies without having to worry about late fees or having to pay different library systems for DVDs you weren't able to return.
Also, try to take some time to explore the local areas where you get sent. AmeriCorp NCCC programs give you a financially free ability to travel to different parts of the country, so take advantage of this and explore. Get the most out of each place you go and take pictures to remember where you have been. More posts to come.
