Conversation Partner #4

I ran into Tien today for the first time on campus without having a meeting scheduled. We passed by each other outside the library. I said hello and she asked if we could chat for a bit. We sat down on the benches outside and talked for a couple minutes. I asked how her debate went. She said it went very well, but she had to practice a lot the night before. She had just visited a business class and was heading to the library to study for a little bit. It was nice to see her outside of our regular meetings. Our friendship is to the point now where I don't see it as a required event for a class, but as an old friend that I could talk to any day. She was in a much better mood today and was feeling less stressed. We decided that next time we meet we will go to get coffee or a smoothie instead of meeting at the library. We discussed again how strange it is that the year is almost over. With only a couple weeks left, both of our classes are picking up and group projects are taking up a lot of our days. She talked about how she is so excited to move on to the business school. We talked about the cold weather that occurred this morning and she made fun of our dumb fluctuations of weather in the US. She said it doesn't rain as much here though as it does in Vietnam. Tien said her house hunt is getting close to over, because she found a house that might fit her needs. I'm happy for her. She is excited to move off campus and is hopeful that she gets the desk assistant job too. She finished her application and is pretty nervous for her interview. I think she will do fine. We continued talking about random topics for about 5 more minutes, then decided it was too cold to keep sitting outside. We said goodbye and parted ways after setting up our next meeting time. She told me she was going to send me a link to a funny video she watched today so she said she'd send it on Facebook. She always sends me funny videos. I have realized we have similar senses of humor because of the videos we laugh at. It's funny to think that someone from the other side of the world would have a similar sense of humor as me. I look forward to our next meeting and hope to see her around campus more often.
