We didn’t travel far, some of us only 10 minutes from home. But we are still in a new environment, and ready to experience new things. We came together at 4 pm and learned about where we would be staying for the next week. We relaxed and got to know each other as we unpacked, before we met all together and gave our phones away to truly start our immersion experience. Then we all ate dinner together, cooked by our fellow students (quesadillas and lemonade for the win). We discussed how we were feeling about the journey we were about to embark on, asking questions and discussing our past experiences to truly be prepared for tomorrow and the rest of the week. We are all feeling a bit nervous, but excited as well. The unknown is scary, but we are all ready to take this on and do our best as we explore it. Today was about coming together and getting comfortable with each other, so we can bring our best selves to the Tennyson Center tomorrow. Now, we are about to start a movie, then go to bed early so we are refreshed and ready.
