of mice and creepy German men

The theme of todays meeting was snacks: Tim Tams and Shapes. And also cups of tea, alway tea. Our next meeting will be at the tea shop in town. Tea is our theme or team mascot or something.
Good god, is anyone else watching that crazy German man disect a cadaver on TV? It's gross and fascinating. And distracting. Can't talk about snacks any more. He just took the cadaver's skin off.

Anyway, I spent three days paralysed by stress after realising we have only two weeks till the panel. Finally this morning I started writing my introductory speech, which we read and discussed at todays meeting. The consensus was that it is going well, and much hilarity ensued as we discussed panel bios.

Oh. That German man on TV just pulled at the tendons in the arms and the cadaver's skinless hand moved. Where was I? Panel meeting. Right.
Also discussed: do we have time for a bake sale? I still don't know the status of that. If it goes ahead it will be on a Wednesday when I have class, anyway, so I would be less involved than the others.

I really enjoying meeting with the panel group. Our meetings are fun but we still get work done, seguing effortlessly between the context of Shakespeare and what we did on Friday night.
My biggest concern so far is that I am not a strong enough leader. As chair I am expected to have things planned and know where we're heading and I worry I let them down sometimes. Next meeting we will have a very rough run through our panel, just to see what we've got so far. Hopefully this will give us all more of a direction.
