CP #1

I met with my first conversation partner at 3pm before class class one day in CIES. I had to ask around and trying to find her was a challenge since we didn't know what each other looked like. Her name is Angel and she's from Tanzania in Africa. Although she's only been here for three weeks, she seemed to understand a lot what I was saying. That was really surprising to me. I had my guitar with me because I was performing somewhere right after class and wouldn't have time to go home first. She asked me about it and if I knew how to play. I told her how I had been teaching myself using the internet and she was impressed. I played her a song I just learned and she gave me a round of applause afterwards. She told me how she didn't know how to play any instruments but she liked to sing and dance in her room. I think I am going to find a way for us both to go to an open mic at a nearby restaurant. I go every week and I know she would enjoy it. I was getting hot outside so we went into the lounge to finish talking. She told me about her family and I told her about mine. She said that me and my sisters look the same, which is what everyone says. We got something to drink and sat back down to finish talking. Then she got a call from her aunt saying she was going to pick her up in a few minutes. I told her I would let her know as soon as my work schedule was finalized when we could meet again. We hugged goodbye and I headed off to class.
