On Wednesday (7/25) I awaited my conversation group as per usual. I advised them that I would like to start doing tutoring instead of conversation at 3pm, and though they seemed enthusiastic about it initially, I guess after a long day of studies it just doesn't seem so interesting. Soufiane however, is faithfully present. He was there with a Columbiano named David (Daveed), and a Espanola named Mireia (aka Lara). Since the rest of my group was not present, I decided to just hand out with these three and await my tutoring session with Yi Li and Soufiane at 5.
Mire is from Madrid, Spain. She likes to party within reason(never drinks to get drunk), but she says that she is also very studious. She is friendly, and slightly bashful.With her blonde hair and fair skin, you may not guess she was Spanish until you spoke with her. Though she is a first session CIES student, she has very good English. She is studying International Affairs and will be returning to Madrid to finish her undergraduate shortly.
David is from Cali Colombia. He says that the most beautiful girls in the world come from Cali. He is somewhat of a clown, but he is definitely a lot of fun. He too is a first session CIES student, but also speaks English very well. He bikes almost an hour to class from Killearn everyday! At the end of this session, he will also be returning to his country of origin to finish his undergraduate.
The four of us had a great conversation about US college life, clubs, and Tallahassee adventures, as well as our travel experiences. It has been such a pleasure to get to know so many beautiful and diverse people through this program.
