The Southern-Hemisphere-born-and-raised immigrant to the US says:
“Please do not speak to me in “season” language. Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter do not happen at the same time for me… Talk to me in months, there we are in sync! And while we are talking about this, if you tell me something about next Spring and I look confused and ask more questions, be gentle. And after you realize that I was not born in the same hemisphere as you please, please do not tell me “that’s right! It is backwards down there” for backwards may be here, and you very well may be looking up to my homeland values.”
Respectfully dedicated to all the people that schedule classes, courses, jobs, deadlines, soccer practices, and anything in between.
