It was better I think than I expected.<\/p>\n
But at the beginning, I walked in and faced with a group of people that seemed to be waiting. At first, I was surprised because the initial email said to arrive between 9:45 and 10 am. And I certainly was early, but everyone was there so much earlier. But it didn’t matter.<\/p>\n
