            I met with Talal for the first time today. We did the introduction sheet provided by Mr. Valentine to introduce each other. He was very interesting to chat with him. He is from Saudi Arabia and has only been in Tallahassee for one month. He really likes to travel and likes to cook as well. We spent time talking about food and traveling around experiencing different cultures. I asked him about how Saudi Arabian culture is different from American culture and it was interesting to hear how he thinks people in the US are friendlier and easier to approach. He is supposed to go back to Saudi Arabia in a week, so we’ll have to schedule according to the time difference.

    So he just came to FSU for the CIES Session? I kind of feel him, but I only had to drive five hours. And I wonder about Saudi food now. Why did he do a CIES Session? TESOL prep?

CP 10/9/20

Today I met with Marcia. She talked about how she is working on her applications for different graduate schools. She talked about how she applied to some schools in South Korea and other schools in Canada. She mentioned how it is exhausting to work on all these applications. I then started discussing with her how I always wanted to have a deep southern accent. She was shocked to hear this since she has always tried to overcome her accent in English. I talked to her about how it makes you sound different and adds diversity. After that, we ended up talking about the TEFL internship program and how she thinks Dr. Rios is a really good teacher. She thinks that his ability to understand where the students are coming from really makes him an effective teacher.
