#playfulinteraction

Mountain goats in playful interaction

I am excited to start working on this course. Although this week is a bit stressful with planning the IIAA event, I will try to do my best to do my part of the weekly project. 

I have read the MDA text and it will be fun to see it in action and use it. The thought of how detailed and how much you actually have to think about scares me slightly, but being with other people in a group calm me down a bit.
