387

387 post views that is, but I'm pretty sure some of my Class of 2018 lovelies are still checking the blog.  Am I right?

At any rate, much much better, my juniors.  I apologize if any of your emails got bounced back for some unknown reason.  I'm not sure what happened there...I appreciate the effort, and remember, you don't have to email daily.  I'd say two a week is bare minimum.

As far as SAS today, homerun.  I think everyone who presented did so with courage and grace (which is exactly the way to go about it).  Not only did you all teach us about really interesting topics/things, you did something (publicly speak) that is considered a fear in grown ups.

Mad respect.

Over the weekend, you MUST watch the Steve Jobs Stanford commencement address (2005) that Ariel left as a comment on WEDNESDAY night.  It's just good.  So, watch it.  (explicit enough?)  And also, read.  Some people have already finished books and are on their second ones, so be the best student you can be and do your work.

No grades doesn't equal No work.

Wishing you all a happy and safe weekend.

Love and Light,
Beltran

  10. Today was jazzy. Still shook from Riley's beyond impressive (initially, very intimidating) SAS presentation, WOW that was great. Glad to be surrounded by such talented, groovy kids in class. I'm excited to learn more from more people next friday.

  12. 3 things. 1) This senior is still checking the blog everyday. 2) Shout out to all the juniors who presented today! It's scary, but I'm sure y'all did amazing. And 3) "Higher Ground" is one of the greatest songs by far.

  21. SAS was great! Its so nice to know that once I week I can count on learning 3 amazing new things. I think I most enjoyed the way people were passionate about everything they shared, even though the topics were so diverse.
