Conversation Partner #2

Tien and I met for the second time this past week. It was much easier to coordinate a meeting time and place. I also was able to find her much easier because I know what she looks like now. We met in the library and she commented on how I looked tired. Then she told me to drink my coffee to help me wake up. We began by talking about how our day was going and she commented on how busy she has been. She has a heavy work load the week before spring break. She has a bunch of tests and papers due this upcoming week. She had no plans for the weekend except studying. We talked about our plans for spring break and she was jealous that I get to go to New York City. However, she gets to go to Los Angeles. So I was jealous as well. The conversation flowed more smoothly this time than the first one. We talked like normal friends instead of strangers meeting for the first time. She talked about TCU basketball and how they aren't any good. I laughed and was impressed she was keeping up with the team. She even has gone to a few games. Her english has already gotten better since our last meeting. She understands what I say really well and can respond to all my questions. I still think it's crazy to think about what it must be like to be a foreign exchange student. I wouldn't be able to do it. Anyways, she is really enjoyable to talk to and has a lot of great experiences. She is currently in the process of picking a major. She is looking into either Business Information Systems (BIS), or engineering. Two pretty difficult majors. She is thinking of sitting in on some classes to sort of get the feel for them. I am impressed with how much she has to work in school and still finds time to do things like that. She could teach me a thing or two about time management. Tien had to cut our conversation short because she had too much homework and a meeting to go to. We have planned to meet the week after spring break to discuss our experiences. I cannot wait. Tien and I are becoming great friends and I look forward to visiting with her after our break.
