I noticed it had
been sometime since I had talked with Anderson, so I texted him asking if he
wanted to grab a bite to eat. I’m not going to lie, I kind of missed the guy.
The conversations we would have were always intriguing. We both had busy
schedules that week. We would have a time and date planned, but something would
come up either on my side or his. Life was just simply making it difficult for
us to meet up. I either had work or school, or he would have school, work, or
simply plans with his family. However, we finally found a time that we could
meet up. We decided to do the usual and meet up somewhere to eat. This time I
was going to make sure I was on time for once. If there was an Olympic sport
for tardiness, I would be racking up gold medals for the U.S. team.
The
day came, and I did whatever I could to ensure that I was not late. I had
numerous alarms set up to make sure that I would show up early and not just on
time. Finally the alarm to leave my room went off. I then proceeded down the
stairs and headed over to meet Anderson. As I was walking, I ran into a friend
and started talking to them. We had Organic Chemistry together and had an exam
not too long ago. This exam was brutal, and I wanted to make sure that he
thought it was miserable as well. The class always seemed to find a way to ruin
my day. As I looked at the time, I noticed that I was off schedule and would be
running late if I didn’t leave now. I ended the conversation and quickly headed
over to meet Anderson. Surprisingly I made it on time. Even though I was not
there earlier, making it on time would suffice. We got our food and sat down
and began our conversation. I was really excited that day. This was the day he
was going to teach me some Portuguese!
He
taught me some of the more simple words in Portuguese such as “hello” and “how
are you doing”. The language is quite similar to Spanish. This of course made
it easier for me to learn the words in Portuguese. After I learned these words,
we progressed to some more explicit words. He taught me some that I cannot type
in this blogpost, but let me tell you, it was freaking awesome! I’m now ready
to take on Brazil by the horns. A lot of the words he taught me were extremely
similar if not exactly the same as the Spanish equivalent. We later progressed
to discussion of the Spanish language. I taught him a couple of words in
Spanish as well. He obviously picked it up rather quickly. We later talked
about some pickup lines that would work in Brazil that he would bust out on the
women back in the day. He mentioned the ones that worked for him and the ones
that did not. Now I’m prepared to find my future wife in Brazil.
After
some time, it was time for us to go our separate lives and get back to our
lives, which involved mainly studying. We talked about meeting up next week.
However, we could not make any promises because life appeared to make things
difficult for our meetings. We agreed to keep in contact and see if we could
find a time that we were both available. He told me that the next time we met
up he would tell me places that I should visit if I ever go to Brazil. I’ve
always wanted to go to Brazil, so now I really wanted to meet up sometime soon,
preferably the next day.
