Although the excessive snow days sort of threw off my momentum, I was very impressed with how the snow day assignment worked out. It was kind of cool being able to sit on my couch in PJs and view all the presentations and comments. I know that the next couple of weeks are going to be really long, so it might be interesting to see if we could use that method to cut down on some class time and devote it towards to debating films. Just a thought, it's definitely preferable to discuss in person.

I will say, I did try to do that with my club meeting, and that didn't work out nearly as well, which made me think about how well this class works together, like a cohesive whole. It's nice.

This Mixer is almost here!!! I'm actually excited!! Everything is super official now, and the execution is among us.....

Anyways, there had to be some quick changes, but I think changed smoothly and everyone was very flexible. The Mixer was moved from Thursday to slightly earlier on Friday because the Clock Tower Lounge was unavailable. Unfortunately, I know of a couple of guests that we lost due to work, but I think in the long run, more people will show up. At the departmental meeting, we discussed bringing regular games that will be set up on tables instead of icebreakers or group games. I think this is great, everyone has offered to bring something, and Nathalie said she will rent board games from Sharky's for us. I cannot express my appreciation and gratitude enough for everyone that has helped me with this, I feel super sappy annoying, but I really couldn't have done it otherwise.
