Ruhiyyih flew to Japan where she stayed the night, then flew on to China. We got 3 e-mail from her, with titles, but none of the content was printed. Was this just technology afoul, or China policy ? I was a little concerned, then she called. 10:30 p.m. her time, about 6:30 a.m. our time. I was just having morning coffee, she was just preparing for bed.
She no sooner got on the phone, than I wondered WHO was this! Her voice was just a raw squeek! What in the WORLD has happened!
Between a few tears, she said she was ill, with a very red throat. She had given her presentations to the administrative personel and the teachers, but it left her exhausted, and filled with miss-givings. The heat was 100 degrees and rising! She left 74 degree temps here. Probably her body just hasn't had time to adjust.
She was pretty discouraged, and really needed a doctor. There is none out there at the school. She would have to be driven into Beijing, and that would be inconvenient.
Well, being her mom, I said just to take it easy, "They won't fire you during the next three weeks, just muddle through." The administrators will appreciate anything she can do
Meantime, I sure hope she drinks lots of water.
