I'll start by agreeing with the other vows to learn all the names and faces, there are SO MANY of us.  I'm really excited to be at Burning Coal working in the space again and to get to know everybody in the Conservatory.  You all have really cute clothes.

Yesterday, the first day, I was a little too quiet and I think I need to get out of my shell a little bit. I'm normally actually rather obnoxious. I think being loud will be better than being quiet under the circumstances, though.

That chocolate cake was really good, by the way.

I really enjoyed  being seaweed, it required no thought. That was actually pretty relaxing for me. Also, Victoria, you are a really good sculptee. That game was fun and a challenge.

The power game and the thought that the human mind is addicted to narratives was excellent, because it's so true. 

Having never read Richard III, I was pleasantly surprised at my ability to follow the plot. Thanks Sam, for explaining to me, twice, all the history. My brain was working hard, but I was keeping up I think. That was a pretty fun read-through, actually. Some of you guys have really cool voices.

I'm being really short and not reflecting well on what I actually learned because I have to leave my house in like two minutes, and I live in Wake Forest. Essentially the black hole of the triangle area.

I will hopefully be able to spend actual time on a good post later tonight and not have to do it in the morning, as I am now officially supposed to be in the car.
