It is hard to believe that we are almost done with the first 6 weeks of grad school. How did that happen?! I am so glad that even though we are moving into the next phase of classes, we won't be leaving behind the wonderful community we have created within our cohort. I know, we'll have to be mixed cohort-ed for the next few weeks (oh no!), but when we return for the fall, we will be together again, and the sense of trust and community will fall right into place. At first, I didn't really understand LC's emphasis on the cohort, but now I do. I can't imagine learning on the same level with a constant upheaval and turnover of classmates.
By the way, my mind is now more aware of white privilege - I was putting on a band aid this morning (cutting cardboard with a pocket knife is not a good idea), and I realized that it was pretty close to my skin color. This is probably a very obvious form of white privilege, but I'd never really thought about it before. Do they make "diverse" band aids? They should.
Look who's keeping me company as I blog...
