Giovanna CP #5

For our conversation partner meeting, from 3:30-4:30 PM on July 31, Abdulaziz and I talked about many topics. He told me that he had finally done his TOEFL exam and was confident he did well. He said this Fall would likely be his last session with CIES because he feels confident enough in his English skills that he will do well in grad school. We talked a little bit about the grad school application process and I told him about some of my anxieties preparing for the LSAT and law school. We also discussed some of our concerns about going to back to in-person classes. Both of us are excited to do so but worry that it will be so different that it'll be a bit depressing. We also talked about family vacations (since I am going on one next week) and the different shenanigans that can happen when multiple people who aren't used to being together for an extended period of time stay together in one house. All in all, it was a very entertaining conversation!
