Well during bowling it was just the two of us so we did not speak much. I always bring up questions and make her talk to me, and in the silent moments tease her about how she's not allowed to keep quiet! After only one game we decided to leave so that we could just sit and talk. We settled for the Union courtyard and started up. I can never get over how shy she is! It's adorable, she feels so guilty that her English is not good, it makes her feel bad that I have to listen to her. I continue to reassure her that that's what I'm even here for!
I asked her when she knew she was going to come to America, what was the one thing she didn't want to leave without. She said Disney World! I was so excited and I hope we get to plan a trip to go. I accidentally got too excited and started to talk really fast and she was like "slow please!"
I asked her what she wants to do with her major and she described how she wants to deal with pollution in air and water. And she asked me the same question and was pretty interested.
One of the most fascinating things I found out today was that they wear uniforms to middle school and high school.. but they even take their shoes off before class!! I was very intrigued.
I asked whether that means her schools are pretty clean, she laughed and shook her head no.
Today was fun because we exposed a little of our ethnic side by counting to ten in our different languages.
I'll be texting her this week to see what she wants to do!
