Elizabeth-CP-Week 2

Every week is turning out not so well, when it comes to meeting my conversation partner. This past Wednesday I called Rama to tell her that I was going to be a bit late to tea time. She told me that she was on her way to her home. I asked her to please stay there for a little while so I could talk to her. As I am rushing to the 4th floor, I noticed that there were a lot of people missing. I looked for Rama until I found her sitting by the giant map. She told me that the reason she was trying to leave early was because she needed to go buy a laptop. She owns a desktop, but she really wishes to own a laptop so she can take it to campus and work from there. I told her about my nomination to the Peace Corps and that they want me to go to Sub Sahara Africa. I explained all the details to her and she was so amazed about the program and wished me lots of luck. Rama says that hopefully the PC sends me to her hometown so I can hang out with her. It was really nice to see how friendly she is, which makes me feel really positive about going to Sub Sahara Africa. Even though I still don't know my final destination, I feel better about it. We talked about her cousin, Moussa, who is studying English in Algeria. Rama says, that most of her family, like sisters, brothers and even cousins are learning English. It is essential for most people to do so, since many jobs would like for their workers to be bilingual.
After a few minutes she had to go so we said goodbye until next tea time. I called her this weekend to see if she wanted to go out or something but she did not pick up the phone. Even though three weeks have passed I still don't know much about her, but maybe things will get better. ^_^
