I was finally able to meet with my new group; a combined group on Mondays with Isabella and I facilitating, and with six members (although only five could come on Monday). It was great to meet everyone, and it was very relaxed with everyone finding things to talk about. Many of them have similar classes or majors, which makes for easy conversation. I'm hoping in future weeks we can make sure to talk about things other than just classes, but classes are of course a very relevant subject for everyone and something they were all eager to discuss, so I'm glad we were able to discuss it together! Since our group formed a little later and has only met in this combined manner once so far, I'm still not completely sure what the group dynamic will be like. We would like to do some activities, but with eight people I worry about coordinating schedules if we were to meet for a meal or something outside of our usual 3 pm time slot. I'm hoping it works out though!
I really enjoyed reading (if that is the right word) the book The Arrival. The illustrations were beautiful and fascinating, and although I did miss the presence of words, I can see the benefits of having a book which everyone can read regardless of their native language, and with an ambiguity that allows everyone to see their own experiences rather than being limited to the more exact story that narration would have depicted.
