I am genuinely looking forward to meeting people. I am also already overwhelmed by the schedule. Every event seems to be described as essential. If you leave early, you missed the best part. If you skip one, that was apparently the event where everybody became close. By the third day I was no longer choosing what sounded fun; I was trying to prevent future regret. I know introduction is temporary and people want to make the most of it. I just wonder whether we could talk more honestly about the people who go home early, arrive later, do not drink, have health limitations, need to work, or simply cannot be socially available for a full week. Did anyone find that friendships continued forming after the official beginning? I think many of us know the answer is yes, but it would help to hear the actual stories.
