Chat Cafe Check-in

My chat cafe this semester has been a very easy going group! We've had a few late adds and so there will presumably be new people at our meeting this week. It will be interesting to see how this changes the dynamic, but we had a late add earlier in the semester and it was very easy to incorporate him into our dynamic. Everyone is pretty open and comfortable so I haven't had much difficulty making sure everyone talks. We've talked mostly about school and food and I've tried to keep them updated on my favorite events on campus like UMMA After Hours (one this Friday 5-8!).

I've gone to restaurants with my groups in the past but I think cost-wise it might not be as feasible with this group. Instead I'm thinking I'll do some sort of pot-luck movie night in an open classroom which I've done in the past. Several group members mentioned they liked baking brownies, so maybe a brownie night! Since we meet after museums and such are closed I've been thinking about other activities we can do instead and I did card games a few times which I might try again or a day where we play games like 2 truths and a lie or 20 questions which worked nicely the other times I've done them. I also told them about the Wellness Zone in CAPS in the Union which is open until 7 so I might take them there to try out the massage chairs which are so nice!

All and all it's shaping up to be another great semester!
