Yes! This is what college is supposed to be. . .

I received a couple of emails from Sean, detailing some of his experiences with his classes. He seems to be interested, inquisitive and enjoying the college experience, so far.

And, he even cut an email short because he wanted "to be early to class." Yes! That is a very good sign--much better than sleeping through class.

He later explained a cultural diversity class game--in which the students were divided into 2 groups, Alpha's and Beta's, given tasks to do in each group (like barter for special playing cards without using English) and then interact with the other group, developing opinions on what the other group was like, without really understanding why they were acting the way they did.

I don't remember college being that fun!
