  1. It seems to me that you got this "independent" "cush" assignment because you impressed them you could handle being on your own. I'm sure you earned this assignment and less luck was involved.

    I was thinking we should find some interesting "American" T-shirts for you that would be a topic of discussion for your class.

    We're so happy that you are happy!!

  2. Great idea about the t-shirts, Julie! And don't worry, Amy, we wouldn't dream of sending you anything too embarrasing (like "Life begins at 40!) :)

  3. jeans and t-shirt... really? Cool. Is this for teachers only or students too?

    I wore uniforms for 12 years until I went to college - pretty much everybody did for middle school and high school. We all had the same hair style starting at middle school and wore pretty much the same style/color shoes. Imagine a room full of (60 or more at times in the classroom) Asian girls (or boys - very fes high schools in the country were co-ed) wearing the same thing looking pretty much the same from head to toe. I am not sure if I can tell kids apart if I were to face a class like that now...

    I guess you could wear a t-shirt with the image of the "free woman" :-) That was a gem.
