When fun is both ways

Summer in Boston has been a great adventure for me. As it comes to an end, it is always good to reflect on the good and the bad - more so on the learning's. One thing that has been most enjoyable is to have someone appreciate and cherish the joy you share. Nothing beats dancing with someone who enjoy it as much as you do! I always have a saying too but it is more on relationship, "the ability and joy of a man to buy flowers for someone who will treasure it as much the process of flower selection is wonderful". Put it simply, you want that someone to enjoy it as much as you enjoy putting it together. It can be singing a song, getting a present.... anything. It was also my first time I am doing a dance tryouts ! Talk about being a confidence booster, I am taking this in a few strides, on one hand, I really want to achieve something in dancing and it brings the other side of confidence out of me. More challenges in Fall to come.  

The First Class Scramble

Back to another new class, the typical first class scramble. I have been part of 2 classes now - one that had someone organized a LinkenIn group, another which had the professor set up the group based on credentials. So today, I witnessed a typical scramble and I always categorize them into a few stereotypes: The high flyer The person who knows he will be approached as he made one or two really interesting remark in the class discussion. These are people who typically know what they are doing The nosy one The person who comments a bit too much or tries to be ahead of the lecturer knowing what topic is next. These people generally break the momentum of the class and can be annoying The rest - silence  These mass market surveys who are their potential team members or will just ask the person next to them. Some have specific preference to skin color (racism), gender (sexism) and looks (stereotyping). There must be a better way derived to do this.
