A busy week that was supposed to be a catch up week - Spring Break. What Break? Had a lovely chat with my Dad, finished reading a bunch of texts for Anthropology study, Travelled to Toronto and was SUPER BUSY.

This also explains why I have not written much/anything about this weeks session yet, although it was extremely interesting. I’ve already listened to the audio while taking a walk in the park.
