After a long, long time since I visited South Africa (and which shockingly went by in a heartbeat), I made the trek to the post office and dropped off all the letters that my students wrote for the students I worked with all summer/(winter). When my two worlds collide in this fashion, I feel slightly more myself and like I'm not bipolar, or two different people. All together, the letters weighed 11.5 ounces and they are officially "documents" as stamped by customs.
This is my favorite form of International Relationships.
You are definitely not bipolar--but you have students in different hemispheres. I love that you can make your worlds collide and I love that you can create cultural connections between them all.
ReplyDeleteI also love that you wrote something. I check almost every day.
