I met with MaoMao today and we went over what he did over spring break. He talked a lot about his girlfriend and how much she missed him when he went back to China. He thought that his English has improved a lot and was telling me how he was talking to his girlfriend in English and she was amazed how much he had learned in such a short time. We talked about where he was going to go for summer vacation and he said probably to New York or to China again. He asked me about how my boyfriend was a I told him that we are very good but we have been together so long that we are like an old fighting couple. MaoMao seems to be able to respond well and think little about the grammar while trying to communicate while still speaking really well. We talked a lot about animals and what his favorite was. He said he likes dogs. We also talked about why he wants to go to FSU and he said he wants to be a criminal psychologist, which I thought was really cool. We ate together and he commented on how much food was in America and I agreed saying we needed more spicy vegetables like kimchi so that Americans could be healthier. He asked me if I liked kimchi and I said no, but my boyfriend is Korean so he eats it a lot which makes me consequently have to eat it (even though I am mildly allergic to red peppers.) Overall, it was a good lunch and we both really enjoyed it.
