So today is the last time mohammed and I meet. Since he does not have a final tomorrow we can talk for longer than we have for the last couple of times. To make this seem complete, we met at the same place we did the first time. It was kind of bitter sweet to meet him at star bucks for the last time. There is a chance we'll meet at some other time. Like if he's back in Texas or if I'm in michigan. Sadly this is tata for now. We talked about what mohammed will be doing for the break. He explained that he will spend some time with his family. I asked him about his nephew, whois multilingual. Mohammed explained that he is doing great. I asked if he learned any new languages lately and mohammed said no with a chuckle.
Mohammed and I talk TCU football for a bit. I explained to him how upset I was when I learned that we were not going to the playoffs. I told him that I was so upset, that I did not want to do any school work at all. Mohammed told me that he did her about the news, but he definately did not take it the same way I did. I was in the mind set that all is lost, and I would rather be just sitting in my room than hanging with my friends and getting the bad news.
I asked Mohammed if people in Saudi Arabia get as excited about soccer as I do about sports. He said yes. He refereed to a picture that he showed me at our second meeting and he also explained that the fans are crazy. People paint them selves, pain their houses, and get into fights over some teams. This was good to know because I would have been slightly embarrassed if Americans were the only people that commit those types of acts of team spirit. Now it's okay because everyone does it.
I asked mohammed if he's started buying clothes for michigan yet. He told me that he has some, but not enough for a person that will be living their.
Since the holiday is coming up that means one thing for me. TELEVISION. I told Mohammed that my favorite TV show is definitely "game of thrones." He said that he had heard of it but had never actually watched it. He told me that his favorite American show is probably Ellen. I'm happy to hear that. I love ellen!!!! She's soooo funny.
After talking about television, mohammed and I wrapped up our last meeting. We did the hand shake/hug thing. I was very sad.
