Christina CP #2

My second conversation partners' name is Paula. We decided to meet at the sweet shop nearby campus. We both love eating sweets. She didn't have a phone so we kept emailing each other trying to figure out where the other person was. I didn't know exactly what she looked like so I walked right passed her at first. We finally sat down after getting some ice cream and started talking. She told me how she is from Brazil and missed her boyfriend. Luckily, he is getting his visa so that he can visit here in December. She one family member in the United States but not here in Tallahassee. She told me about how her school is pretty much free and they paid for her to come study here. They also paid for her apartment and her food. What a lucky girl. Her English still pretty slow and broken but I managed to understand almost all of what she was telling me. I did translate one word from Portuguese because I was confused and it ended up meaning "jealous". She was telling me how she shares a Facebook page with her boyfriend because he gets jealous and doesn't want her to have her own. She does, however, have her own instagram page and wanted to take a picture with me to put on there. I told her some more about myself and tried to speak slowly so that she would understand. It's hard to speak slowly all of a sudden when you're so used to speaking fast. I also tried to remember to use the simplest words possible since she is a low beginner. She seems like a really nice girl and I'm glad I got her as one of my conversation partners. :-)
