Up early today. Need to keep studying!
This week I talked to both
Mira and
Corine on the phone for the first time. In both cases:
- We talked so long my phone's handset battery died and I had to switch to speakerphone.
- They came across differently than their blogs may seem. Mira talks more and sounds more easygoing than her short, crisp posts may have you believe. Light touch of a Canadian accent. Corine has a Malaysian accent and shows more depth than she may online. Less of a cartoon character. I told her: "Now you're actually talking paragraphs to me, while online you just say 'HAHAHAHAHA.' "
Lesson for today: call up those online friends you've been stalking for months. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
