Doxory?

kyoki has decided I've been invited to go on the ESG staff retreat (ESG is a learning community). I'm a freshman--they want to discuss how to make the program better.

Decline. Run away from the wanking!

But I'm bitter and cynical.

Too late - you already drank the Kool-aid, didn't you?

My choice: Accept. Help improve your student group. Also, networking!

I'm not sure you'll get much useful networking there, but it could be fun.

I have a feeling the staff would appreciate your input. Plus, it's ESG, it's all about the students taking part in deciding what to do.

At least if they're going somewhere nice.

Meh, it probably won't be that bad, and it might involve Free Food. As long as you don't have real stuff to do at the time.

If you have time to spare, go for it.

At least you will meet people and do you really have anything better to do?

If you really care about ESG, go. The networking is insufficent reason, the free food is also insufficent reason.
seph
networking. It's all about the networking.

Not to be cynical, but I've never seen anything useful come out of a "retreat" especially ESG ones... but it doesn't hurt to have the staff think you are involved in the community... those letters of rec can be really useful....

how long is it, if it's more than a day, do you really wanna spend that much time with these people?

If you make a stupid choice because a website tells you to, it's your own damn fault.
