Things I Remembered Later

Field Notes
- Overall it was a pretty decent experience. It was a tad awkward at first and their was a sort of tension in the room. It was obvious that we were not all too comfortable with each other but I do believe in time that exercises like these will become like second nature. Like anything that requires practice, after a couple times, I do not think that it would be as weird as it was on Thursday.
