It was interesting because I had
00:00:02
obviously had like the social dynamics
00:00:04
of a classroom before, but only with
00:00:08
other homeschoolers,
00:00:10
right? Which like
00:00:13
we're a bunch of weird to a Yeah, to a
00:00:15
certain degree. It is a lot of strange
00:00:17
people. So like you kind of don't have
00:00:21
to be you're not as aware of being
00:00:24
different or being weird or anything
00:00:28
when you are used to being around a lot
00:00:30
of weird people. But um it was
00:00:34
definitely very interesting. I thought I
00:00:36
was going to
00:00:38
feel very like young and like be able to
00:00:41
kind of not keep up or that. But I
00:00:45
really had like the opposite experience
00:00:47
where I was like a lot of these college
00:00:49
age students that I'm interacting with
00:00:52
are
00:00:54
like really not even in the same phase
00:00:57
of life as me when they're like full
00:00:59
adults already. The the college thing is
00:01:02
so interesting because I immediate I
00:01:03
didn't ever do classes at VC. I just
00:01:05
immediately went to college like
00:01:07
four-year university
00:01:09
and so it was it was interesting but my
00:01:12
sister did community college and and
00:01:14
things like that and so but it was
00:01:15
interesting to compare notes with her on
00:01:17
like the difference in the way
00:01:18
classrooms are
