it is the last day of f2f. there have been some real highs, and some moderate lows. we all reacted pretty negatively to getting a full syllabus and reading list for the leadership class so late. it didn't help that a paper and a presentation were due at this f2f. tensions were running high! things smoothed out, though, and saturday and sunday went fairly well. we had a great dinner last night, where the cadre hung out and visited. it really helped me bond with the others, and i hope they felt the same toward me.

now we have a new set of assignments; some due in boston, others due by the end of the term. it still seems daunting, but we are going to rely on each other to make it happen. all things considered, i feel very upbeat and enthusiastic.
