Time for intros. I haven't enough training and experience in Memory Palace yet, so I wrote down the names and interests of the other students. Powers of observation - only two people in the group left handed, namely myself and AJ (initials only to protect the innocent).
LC likes furniture restoration, so made decision to take her to Dance of Life exhibit in Oriel Sycharth.
PL into TV - aim to be Producer/AD.
AJ into SEO. Some web design, but not sure on coding skills. Bet they're better than clients'.
LH - such potential. Looks a little like Flavia, has interests of Nai.
KB into lot of things: jewellery, art. Monastic experience.
BD into R&D for sports protection.
DO worked in local government, interests: forests, teaching. PGCE.
CP into voice coaching.
PS engineering.
VM could have possible lead for me.
PL, OB, SD, EM, DN, SR, MS - must connect with them tomorrow.
