Sure, like in all workshops, we did not get as far as we would have hoped, but i can&#8217;t complain because it&#8217;s been my experience that making connections far superceeds functionality in these situations and this was just a rad group for getting into challenging conversations.<\/p>\n<p>My brain is definitely spinning from (both the alcohol and) meeting amazing people who reminded me that 1) school can be inherently amazing and 2) i am still a capable human being.
