Every time we have to make a decision, the dept starts to fight.

I joined a new home group last August, but took a break during the spring semester because my teaching schedule was overwhelming. The minute classes I ended, I was back with this home group, and I'm glad because I feel like I'm really connecting with them now. That is, I'm learning to be vulnerable with them. Horrors!
