I have learned a lot at the seminars and group meetings that we have had, even if I don’t write about them as much as the more “flashy” things like exploring the city or going to large events. Most of them were really nice some of them dragged real hard, but I think the most
Week 8: Reflecting on the Tuesday Seminars with Maj Read More »
One of my favorite things about the summer has been weekly Thursday group meetings that we have been able to organize.

My favorite by far was Naom from Fresh Corner Cafe mainly because he introduced the idea of LLLC. I had never heard
Despite the fact that these meetings are after you’ve completed a long work day, Tuesday and Thursday meet up’s have become one of my highlights from all of this summer’s fun.
