Chainlink Hackathon21 Hardhat runtime

I set up my node, but When I went to run or deploy my scripts this is the error I got.

Error HH9: Error while loading Hardhat's configuration.

You probably tried to import the "hardhat" module from your config or a file imported from it. This is not possible, as Hardhat can't be initialized while its config is being defined.

To learn more about how to access the Hardhat Runtime Environment from different contexts go to https://hardhat.org/hre

any thoughts? this is my deploy script.

async function main() {
    // We get the contract to deploy
    const MyFirstContract = await ethers.getContractFactory("MyFirstContract");
    const myFirstContract = await MyFirstContract.deploy();
  
    console.log("Contract deployed to:", myFirstContract.address);
  }
  
  main()
    .then(() => process.exit(0))
    .catch((error) => {
      console.error(error);
      process.exit(1);
    });

this is my config.

require('dotenv').config();
require("@nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers");
require('./tasks/MyContractTasks');

const KOVAN_RPC_URL = process.env.KOVAN_RPC_URL;
const PRIVATE_KEY = process.env.PRIVATE_KEY;

module.exports = {
  defaultNetwork: "hardhat",
  networks: {
    hardhat: {
    },
    kovan: {
      url: KOVAN_RPC_URL,
      accounts: [PRIVATE_KEY]
    }
  },
  solidity: {
    version: "0.8.0",
    settings: {
      optimizer: {
        enabled: true,
        runs: 200
      }
    }
  },
  paths: {
    sources: "./contracts",
    tests: "./test",
    cache: "./cache",
    artifacts: "./artifacts"
  },
  mocha: {
    timeout: 20000
  }
}
