penny was our group leader (the gazpacho team!). she's very organized, I think it comes as a package being a mother of 5, she probably has plenty of training! plus she home schools her kids! i think she's an angel sent to me to teach me patience and seeing the good in everyone, and plus of course it helps that she's an effective leader who works very hard! it was interesting for me to work with other members in the class. we had to dice 72 tomatoes between myself, stas and dr.

Your posts are absolutely wonderful! So comical :) I love your writing style. It's really interesting to see the curriculum from the student viewpoint (again! I suppose I started out that way :) I'll be leaving Monday to visit my mom for a week. It was her birthday so we've planned a long visit :)But, unfortunately this means I will be missing your demos :(. I'm sorry I'll be missing them, I think you guys as a group are awesome!
