Day 1: Orientation & Homework Assignments in G-Rap

Had our first "class" today and received rather minimal and obscure instructions:

1. Research how to survive climbing mountains of death, how to play blackjack, and also how to milk a cow. Nbd.

2. Buy a journal. Much more difficult than it sounds. Moleskines know they are seriously ideal and therefore charge an arm and a leg. 

3. Continue mentally preparing for doing "8-10 things that we will never do again in our lives" (direct quote from instructors). Guaren-sheed.

4. Find a swimsuit for "rigorous swimming." Simple. We "may or may not need it for tomorrow's race in GR." Not so simple.
