I have and have had friends with memory problems. May be due to injury, or to genetics, but either way they become expert note takers.

Could this be considered a hinderance to such a person's education?

Well, how about it?

I understand the use of being connected, but really - is it absolutely needed?

Will your family and friends feel cheated if they knew your photos were "really" taken a week ago?

If you want to do a blog, you can get a friend stateside to post your letters/photos.

ps: Good luck - sounds like the opertunity of a lifetime!
