Activity 1.1: An Introduction

Hello summer-class goers!

My name is Rachel Wagner. Typically, people just call me Rachel and I have never really had a nickname catch on. So, Rachel will do just fine!

I am from Sobieski, Wisconsin which is about a 30 minute drive north of Green Bay, where the Green Bay Packers play. I went to undergraduate college in River Falls, WI, which is an hour drive east of the Twin Cities (Saint Paul and Minneapolis). There I majored in Psychology with a minor in Biology. With this class I am finishing 3 of my 9 final needed credits to receive my Educational Specialist degree in School Psychology. With an Ed.S. in School Psychology I am hoping to work in a school district as a school psychologist.

On a personal level I enjoy the outdoors: fishing, hiking, biking, camping, canoeing. etc. I also adore crafting! A day is well spent crocheting, making jewelry, drawing/painting, or looking for new crafts to try. I also enjoy spending time with my dog or my two cats. Finally, when I have the time I love to read fantasy books!

This summer, I hope to be able to go hiking in the Smoky Mountains and go camping in North Carolina as I've never been east much. I am also looking forward to returning to Wisconsin and spending some time on the my family's lake fishing and swimming.

I look forward to figuring out this whole blogging deal and seeing what new interesting things I learn from this adventure!

  1. Hi Rachel, good to meet you. Full disclosure here, I am SOOOO jealous. My wife and I LOVE Wisconsin, and discovered it by happy accident on a roadtrip to Canada. We've since spent many vacations there just exploring the state from end to end from Monroe, to Chippewa Falls, to Hayward, to Eagle River, to Door county. We love the people we've met, the small towns, the FISHING, and of course, the cheese and beer. We ask ourselves at LEAST twice a year (obviously in the dead of summer) "Why exactly don't WE live in Wisconsin?"
