Mahsa and I
have both been swamped with schoolwork and I have been so busy with an
over-booked schedule. I definitely took on more than I could handle this semester
and I was trying to explain this to Mahsa and she was compassionate about my
situation and agreed that she has had a difficult and busy semester. I thanked
her for taking out the time to hang out with me a couple times out her busy
schedule and she gave me the same response.
I really
enjoyed meeting Mahsa. She was a breath of fresh air for me amidst all the
pressure around me. I promised to keep in touch with her throughout me endeavors
and asked that she would do the same. We exchanged email addresses and hugged
and as she said good-bye I interrupted her and said- its not “good-bye” its “see
you later”. She smiled and said “see you later!”
The conversation
partner program is a great way for students of different cultures to get
together and learn differences between them. My only wish is that more students
knew about the program and were able to get more involved.
