I love my Honors Forum Team (Team Jia)!!! I’m a silly person and they put up with me and for that I will be eternally grateful, haha! Yesterday during Forum, instead of our normal lecture and discussion time, we went on a SCAVENGER HUNT and being the camera whore that I am, I just had to take lots of pictures …. at every location and at the most random moments … They were good-natured about it, despite the occasion cranky glare and bunny ears, lol. 
My favorite part was probably the fact that at almost every location, I saw a friend. I think it was good for my team to see that I do exist outside of Forum (it’s like seeing professors at the grocery store -AH!) and that people at UMBC really do know each other, or at least we all do by the time we’re seniors! I’ve been cooking dinner for them all in small groups, about three at a time, so they’ve seen me then, but I still don’t think they really know what to think of me … am I there teacher or their friend? … neither! I’m their Team Leader (a fun and somewhat confusingly nebulous position, haha)! It’s my job to push them to do better academically, socially, and maybe occasionally torture them by taking a MILLION pictures!
Oh, and we’re totally going to win because my Team asked the best questions and spent the longest gathering info. before we took our “quiz” at the end. We are so winning that party!!!
