Last night I had the opportunity to join in on the Kickoff Dinner of HMCC's UIC summer small group. Having been in isolation for the past two days, I was so relieved to be welcomed into their small group with warm greetings. I met some cool people, ate some good pasta with CHICKEN (college students in AA can't afford to put chicken in their pasta), and played some nice rounds of Mafia and Killer. I think it's amazing how HMCC connects people everywhere, even when you end up in a city that you barely know.
The people in KAIROS (I believe that's what they're called) were really friendly to me, but being placed in a small group that has already been together for a year reminded me of what it's like for a newcomer. Now I know how much of an effort I must make next year, when we have new people join us in JCrew :P.
I have to admit though, after not being a freshman for a year, it was pretty weird being served haha..
