Crazy

Sorry there's been a lag since the last post, but it's been a hectic couple of weeks. MEET is halfway done. The students have been great - full of energy, excitement, and intelligence. These are some of the smartest high schoolers I've met. This past Thursday, there was a Parent's Night where we got to meet the parents and family of some of our students.
I have given most of the core business and entrepreneurship lectures. This week will be dedicated to research, business plan writing, a personal branding workshop, and an Apprentice-like event. Should be enough to keep us busy.

Meanwhile, my apartment back at home in Cambridge was flooded due to the torrential downpour last week in Boston, destroying most of my belongings. It's been a bit surreal, but I think I'm mostly over the shock (but it may really hit when I actually return and see it for myself). It's been a challenge staying focused here knowing that everything I owned and needed back at home is effectively gone. Remnants of my room post storm and trash removal:

Gotta press on...
