My exchange partner makes me think!!

I have just decided that I will write about random things that pop up in my head. When I drive a car here (which is very often) I usually listen to the radio, in my case it is KOST 103.5 Every night there is this special program where people say something nice about someone special. The lady who hosts this event every night has a very affected and theatrical voice by the way but it is kind of nice. I always think who is special to me and who I would mention here. And it is my exchange partner Kylowna. I feel I was very lucky when I was matched with her (it worked out VERY well also for her btw). We chat almost every day online and I learn so much from it. In fact she has been changing me. Sometimes we have arguments and fights, sometimes she is driving me crazy, but geeeez, she makes me think!!!!!! She has allowed me to see my own country and "my" people through her eyes. It is so interesting. It makes you realize many things you haven't realized before. Each of us defends our own country and sometimes we are so entitled to our opinions, and because we are both stubborn personalities, it is very difficult to confess that we might have been wrong. This is another side of the whole Fulbright Program but apart from the fact that I will (hopefully) change my students' point of view of the world after I come, I will also come as a different person. This would be mostly thanks to my exchange partner. I really feel so fortunate to meet Kylowna. (And Ky I know it was a magic..)
