Brain in Overdrive
By Gabi. Filed in South Africa |
Sabbatical is supposed to have something to do with rest, correct? 
Please explain that to my brain which has never learned and been engaged at this rate since…………..maybe college! At that time I was learning new things in new places all over Europe but this learning in a place that is so different than anything I had previously known is exhilarating…and exhausting! Every day we are incorporating new information, often info that can really not be received from books, but only face to face with a culture. (The books are helping us understand what we are seeing.) Wherever we are, we can not stop reading, thinking, questioning, evaluating, prophesizing…. For you educators, wouldn’t Madeline Hunter be proud of me! The last few days in Zimbabwe were exciting, frightening, sad and happy, all at once. More to come on that subject, cause that’s a whole new chapter in itself!
P.S. Sometimes having trouble knowing which is the English and which is the American spelling of a word… add a little German and Afrikaans to the constant bombardment of words to the brain…..it is definitely on overdrive! Sorry for the speeling purists among you…… Lothar and I try to correct each other!
