I went away for the
summer, and I came back

00:00:45.670 --> 00:00:48.610 align:middle line:90%
changed from that experience.

00:00:48.610 --> 00:00:52.240 align:middle line:84%
And I've missed you, because
I know the faces here,

my students who I've called
on as I've written you emails

00:00:58.630 --> 00:01:06.530 align:middle line:84%
in my head over the summer, and
some actual emails keeping up

00:01:06.530 --> 00:01:08.770 align:middle line:90%
the conversation.
