Yesterday I met with Heelee. We had such a great time
visiting in front of Strozier. She had recently used me in a presentation and
did especially well on her report. As a result she wanted to buy me coffee. I
thanked her kindly and asked if she wanted me to order or would she like to
practice and order herself. She said she wanted to try. It turns out they were
having a buy one get one free deal. We then sat outside and spoke for almost
two hours. We talked about politics, especially military policies, dogs, and
our daily lives, and even speeding tickets. I have never learned so much about
culture in one sitting in my entire life. Also I was amazed at how not awkward
it was. Normally I would be so afraid to offend but Heelee was as interested to
tell me about her culture as I was to hear it. We also joked about how scary
and intimidating The American police are. I said they are not so much scary but
intimidating is the perfect word. We joked about how every time we see one,
even if we haven’t done anything wrong, immediately sit up a little straighter
and are much more aware of our surroundings that we usually are. Our times
together are so much fun. I can’t wait to see her again next Wednesday and see
what we talk about then.
