I have become an avid blogger I feel and I have this strong urge to write. The time constraint no longer feels like an issue.

Yesterday`s class, with Shalini for the first time really giving it to us, during the preperation for talks was truly such an enriching experience. It was like summing up the entire 6 months of classes and for the kind of recap it did and the learning it scaffolded, I would not have liked missing it up for the world. these last few days I believe are the most crucial and the bond that we are creating at this moment is truly unbelieveable and I am sure its going to be long lasting.
