Chat Cafe Update

At the beginning of the semester, I was a little perplexed about the fate of my Chat Cafe group; the first meeting day, only two people came, and on the second, only one. Last week, however, 4 out of my 5 members showed up, and the person who didn't come emailed me in advance. The five of us walked from North Quad to Panera and had a wonderful conversation about where we're all from and the similarities/differences between our countries and cultures. This year's circle is a bit more diverse compared to my two groups from last year--we've got three people from China, one from Singapore, and one from Iran--and I'm so excited to learn from each other and exchange ideas/information about our respective identities and backgrounds! Overall, everything is going great with me and my group and I couldn't be happier with my conversation circle this year.
