Third Meeting With Zooz

After having a little trouble scheduling, I finally got to meet with Abdulaziz again today! It’s been a few weeks, so we had plenty to catch up on. We started by talking about Monday night; when I had texted him that night about our scheduled meeting on Tuesday he asked if I could meet right then, but I couldn’t because I was in Dallas. I told him I was at a concert and would be back too late to meet, and he had assumed I was at the Rihanna concert. I showed him a picture on my Instagram and told him I wasn’t at Rihanna, I had actually seen a few lesser-known bands across the street from her performance. 

Since I had my Instagram open, I also showed him some pictures of my biological family and my sorority family. I had a few pictures of my little sister and brother, and he was quite surprised to hear I only had two siblings total. In his perspective, that is an extremely small family! I can hardly imagine having as many siblings as he does, and it seems like he feels the same way about my family.

I think I confused him a bit at first when I was talking about my sorority. I basically assumed he knew what they were like, but I was wrong. In sororities, we call each other sisters and everyone gets a “big sister”, someone to show them the ropes (and often times they become a close friend). I showed him a picture of my grandbig, who is my big’s big, and he thought I meant grandmother. The picture I showed him wasn’t a great picture, she was making a goofy face, but he thought she was much older than she actually is. I laughed as I explained to him she was only twenty-one, and a lady sitting near us heard what was happening and chuckled as well. I then explained to him how I wasn’t actually related to the girl in the picture and I think he understood how the whole process works.

As it turns out, Monday night Zooz was on campus for a soccer game. This was the first time we realized we both play intramural soccer here at TCU. I just play on one co-ed team but he plays on two teams, an all male team and a co-ed team. We talked a bit about how our teams had done, and he showed me more about the website that I had never looked into before. Apparently you can vote for an MVP of the game, and leave comments on a team page. Of course, it also has the team record and score listed as well. The regular season is over now, but we’re both waiting to hear about the post-season tournament, which I think will start next week. It would be really interesting if we played each other!
