Lori CP-6

For my last official conversation partner meeting we just hung out at Strozier to work on homework and feed our Starbucks addiction. We talked about the fourth of July holiday and what we did. I invited her to my roommates and I's going away party in two weeks. I was hesitant to invite her over to the hurricane that my house can be sometimes, but it's all good =D. I asked how her new conversation partner was, how the new session was going. We talking about dating and how it can be rough if long distance. Usual girl topics. lol. I really think we have moved beyond the quiz a stranger about their country and culture phase and are just friends now. It's fun having a friend from the other side of the planet. Maybe one day we will both end up on the flip side and she can show me around Bucheon. Maybe sooner than later! Hopefully.

It's crazy to me than someone can come to live here in Tallahassee, Florida, from such a bustling and lively country and city, and love being in Tallahassee. Maybe I've just spent far too much time here, but it still blows my mind.

I am incredibly curious to see how Jae adapts to Tallahassee, and the U.S. Where she will be after a year of studies here. I hope things work out great for her. I know they will, she works hard and is bright. I think her positive outlook and spirit are really what will help her succeed in the end. I really hope wherever I end up, that I can remember her strength and it will motivate me to persevere.
