Best of luck! They offer a wealth of options. I hope to take a course or two there in the future as well.

I am having a fantastic experience in the Professional Program. Are you doing a course through the Extension? I have heard very good things about their classes as well, but they're a little bit different than the Professional Program.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this helpful advice! I am in a writing program (UCLA Professional Program) and I have deadlines to meet for that but I will take a bit of a break before I pick it up again. Thank you!!

On the other hand, a good TV show with a good climax and resolution can be really an incredible and impactful experience.

But Tarantino does make a good point. It is so unsatisfying when a TV show starts out strong but doesn't have a clear direction or gets canceled before it has a chance to resolve in a satisfying way.

I asked them and it turns out they actually had learned Cats Cradle from friends at school!

This is absolutely fascinating and it inspired me to share these games with my children, who at 10 and 13 have never played them although I frequently did as a child. They just have so many other play options.

I hope your work inspires a resurgence of interest in these games!

If you have given this advice, I do NOT think you're a bad person- but maybe avoid this kind of advice in the future? Maybe theres a way to communicate the spirit of this advice that's more inclusive & less gatekeepy.

If you think I'm wrong, I'd love to hear other perspectives on this! (8/8)
