Empathy training...

Today I did my empathy training and decided to be mute for the day. It has been really, really hard. I expected it to be hard but not this hard. I have a new respect for people who are mute. I wrote my essay about being mute this evening so now I have 8 of the 9 essays done. The last one is the Community Service project essay that I cant do yet since we haven't done our project as a group yet. I got more exercises done today so it has felt good to get a lot of requirements done but been very hard doing everything being mute.
