CP1

Guess who loves her new convo partner?!? This girl! I finally got to meet my CP today, her name is Venus and she is awesome! She is a 20 year old student from Panama studying law. She decided to take a break from school to come work on her english. She is in the beginner classes at CIES, and has only been here two weeks, but she seems to have a good circle of friends from CIES already. We decided to meet at starbucks and suprisingly I wasn't nervous! At first she seemed a little nervous but we quickly got passed it once we started talking. Her english is minimal but if I speak slowly and enunciate she says she can understand the main words. We ended up talking in a group with some other CIES students Daniel and ali. After that we all went to cafe shisha for a little hookah. I found out that Venus has a blackberry and we promised to bbm (blackberry message) each other! Its great cuz I love my blackberry! I enjoyed hanging out with Venus and the other students, I was learning as well as them. We actually got into a discussion about history and religion, its different trying to explain basic words for me, because they are difficult for english learners. But until next time!
