Hashim and I met at Union Grounds
as always. I don’t know if anyone else noticed, but there was a marketplace
going on the first floor of the BLUU. Small businesses set up booths and sell small
gift. Hashim immediately asked what was going on upon his arrival. He seemed
really surprised that there would be a marketplace inside the BLUU. We didn’t
talk much more about the marketplace but know he knows more about what TCU puts
on.
Moving on from that, we talked about our weekend plans.
Hashim planned to take one of his friends to the airport. After that, they
planned on keeping busy in Dallas. They must love Dallas and Arlington because
I swear he talks about going to Dallas and Arlington every time! They go to
Dallas for shopping and activities while Arlington for food and cheap movie
tickets. As always, he plans on seeing some movie this weekend with his
friends. He wasn’t particularly excited about this one – he only knew Brad Pitt
would be starring. I told him the last football game would be tomorrow and that
he should try to make it. Hashim was originally planning on going until I told
him kick off time – 11 AM. Hashim groaned about waking up early because that is
not what weekends are for. He claims to never get up early on the weekends. My
sister is exactly the same way – she cannot wake up for an early class or wake
up early in general. So, I’ll find out Monday if Hashim ended up at the game.
We also talked about plans for next year. The IEP students
took a standardized test to assess their knowledge of the English language.
This test is what the students have been working towards and need to pass to
complete the program. The results should be in Monday so Hashim will know if he
can begin his undergrad at TCU! Hashim is trying to decide between mechanical
engineering and chemistry. I told him about the classes I’ve taken and the
engineering program. I didn’t have much information about chemistry besides
that I did not like it. On the other hand, Hashim likes it because it is “a
very logical subject.” I’m curious to
see where Hashim ends up going between these degrees.
It's interesting that you mention your partner's extreme like for Dallas, because my partner always seems to talk about her fun weekend activities there also. It seems like that's the best place to have fun, and I also think it is more appealing to the IEP students because it is much larger than Fort Worth, so it has a lot of different things you can do in a close area
