| Additional thought... if a place like this does not yet exist, but you were to design such a place, what would it be like? What kind of structure or style of curriculum? Would there be letter grades, standard tests, specific majors, or pre-req's? What key feature would separate it from other non-tra... |

| thanks for the support :) I used the intensity of the day as an excuse to enjoy some simple comforts (mac and cheese, dark chocolate, extra snuggles, time walking, tai chi in the park, etc...).
