Yesterday I met Elly at Tea Time at CIES. We decided to take a walk because it was a pretty day out and go to the library. I haven’t been inside the new library yet, and because she told me she was scared of it last week, I asked her if she wanted a tour. Elly loves the library!
I took her to the Scholars Commons in the basement, showed her multiple computer labs, taught her how to rent a room for a study session which could come in handy when she starts attending FSU, and showed her the fiction floor. Elly really wanted to rent a movie but can’t with her CIES card, so I rented it on mine and Elly promised she would return it today.
After that, we headed back to CIES. I met her roommate, who, apparently, is a boy. Elly often confuses he with she, so when she discussed her roommate, she always said “she this, she that.” I told him that the next time Elly and I go out for food, he should join.
They said they wanted to go to Fermentation Lounge with me, but then that night when I called her, she canceled. I have noticed Elly is really not good with keeping plans, that is the fourth or fifth time she has canceled on me. It is really hard to get my hours in with someone who doesn’t seem that enthused to leave her house! I am going to try and ask her to go to a coffee shop and do homework with me this weekend.
Hmmmm, have you spoken to her directly about this? Perhaps she doesn't drink, or like the library has some fears about it. I say it is a good point for conversation!
ReplyDeleteShe definitely drinks, we talked about it! She went to a nightclub here with her Taiwanese friends so I don't think she minds going out.
ReplyDeleteShe has canceled last minute when I invited her to things that we do during the day as well. We make plans and she seems excited and then when I call her to pick her up, she says she can't go. I think I am going to let her make plans from now on.
