Now I know I'm not being very original with that title, but it's say everything in 4 letters and 1 number.
The first group came and went too fast. To think that there is a whole month before the next one is a distressing thought. Oh well....onto the review.
First off...I was late(great start, eh?). So, I missed the introductions. Fortunatley, there were only two people there I didn't know, but in a sense I did know them, because they blogged. Those two people were: Alena and Kaffiene(at first I thought you said Kathleen, my apologies).
So, when I got there, they were into the Why ask big Questions intro already, so I had to have a briefing by Mr. Strauss at break about what I missed. After that, I introduced myself to Alena and Kaffiene, and then socialized(and ate a cookie and some grapes...and drank nectar or whatever it was.....in case you cared :P). And I forgot to say that we watched a short clip of Wit(thank you Shimmer).
After the first break, we re-convened, and Mr. Strauss started to give out(wait for it).....---!!!exercises!!!---.....the first exercise being to name the 50 things we love(I got 60 :D(50 if you exclude all the entries I made on my family...lol)). Then we went into samll groups, myself being in a group with Jessica, Lara, and Kaffiene, and read those things to each other(just in case your wondering I did skip my teddy bear....and other things :)). Then we were asked to choose 4-6 of the things we most loved(I picked 7 by accident...:$). I chose Quita, my family, aaand I forget the rest. The other exercises we were:
Listing mentors and Heros
Writing the story of the universe in 5 sentences
Listing communities and friends
And for reading assignment we got aan exerpt from the Philosophy Files, specifically File 5, about jumping into the same river twice. I already have notes in the margins, but no matter how hard I tried, my coffee cup wouldn't stain the paper...
Now I do have some next philosophy group resolutions.
1. I will not drop anything(specifically my binder :P).
2. I will not steal Eldagin's chair.
3. I will not open my oragami boulder to look for the haiku inside.
Well, that all's. Enjoy the rest of your day.
