Conversation Partner 2

I picked Lu up from campus today to go out to eat. And to be honest I wasn't having the best of days and wasn't really looking forward to it. Then I saw her run to my car with the biggest smile on her face. I suddenly forgot everything that I was preoccupied with and became excited just like she was. We went to Los Compadres because she had never eaten anything remotely Mexican in her life. We got to the restaurant and she promptly ordered in English- I was impressed! We got to know each other on a more personal level which was nice. She talked about how lonely it can be here in Tallahassee because she doesn't have many friends. And part of that is because she lives so incredibly far from campus and doesn't have a car. This made me want to do more things with her. I told her that we could go see a movie sometime soon or maybe I could take her to a lacrosse practice. Lu was and is ready to do anything, and that's what I like about her. She says that she is learning a lot from me, but I truly feel like I'm learning a lot just from talking to her.
