Not trying to be creative with my blog title

And I don't like writing. So my writing may not be the best. Sorry ;)

1) How do you feel about the process during the week?

We started our week with an introduction to ‘chaos’ and finding the ‘sweet spot’. I have heard much about working in ‘chaos’ and I was initially very hesitated about this mode of working. Coming from a more traditional way of learning from my Economics major, I am used to a structured way of learning and working. We start every course with a syllabus and a timetable. We know exactly what and when is going to happen. I am surprised that I actually felt good with this journey that we are going to take on this summer even we still have so many uncertainties and unknown possibility. With the flexibility of this project, we have freedom to explore and work our way in this project.

We were also told to trust the process. It was very fascinating that I came out with more questions than I had before I went to work. And I think this is the ‘process’ that motivates me to work every day. Process for me is something that is never ending and ever changing, is also to challenge yourself and to never be satisfied with what you think you already know.

2) Have you felt that you have been learning?

Short Answer is yes! Definitely. (If you don't feel like reading the rest of it ;)

I think I have learned the most from the people in the group. All the different cultures amused me and gave me energy. This is a very rare and extraordinary opportunity to be exposed to such a wide variety of cultures, backgrounds, and people. Everyone who is selected in this group is so talented and special in so many different ways. Living with a diverse group helped me to discover the skills in which I lack, and I discovered our potential and the many routes that we can take to self- improvement. I also gain the ability to convince and persuade others by better understanding and knowing them coming all these different cultures. The differences in backgrounds as well as our different opinions on righteousness also make it a challenge to live in a different culture, especially when controversial issues arise. I got challenged to evaluate what I believe in, and to justify that to myself. But that is exactly how we learn and grow.

For all of us,
