Thank goodness today was a lot better. Felt sorry for Mary tho’ – this must have come out of left field for her, and she looked a bit shocked, but she handled it well. The only way to get the best out of this course is to interact, interject and ask questions until you get the answer you need. If others in the class don’t like how much I’m talking, then they can talk more! People were more active today – Mary set aside her agenda (good for her) and I think we saw more of ‘who Mary is” as well.
