For one of our adventures, Sujin and I went to McKinley’s Bakery for breakfast. She ordered a parfait and I ordered quiche. Nom nom nom! While they came out promptly wit her parfait, I sat there, at first patiently waiting. We talked about our weekends and made small talk, but in the back of my mind was a giant image of a beautiful piece of quiche that I could be enjoying right now. Tired of this nonsense, I went to inquire about the whereabouts of my quiche. Because of my intimidating presence, they got their act together and brought out my lovely quiche. All was perfect besides the strange salad they put on the plate. Sujin and I couldn’t help but laugh at the strange site. The salad wasn’t really a salad at all but some shredded lettuce and a tomato on top. I politely offered it to Sujin, attempting to convince her to try this American experience, but she flat out rejected my salad. That was how I knew we were true friends.
We began talking about Christmas and our families. I couldn’t believe that she was leaving the United States in January. How weird it will be to adjust to that way of life again. I asked her if she was nervous at all. She told me that she was excited to see her old friends, but not excited to go back to school because she will have homework and assignments. That I understood all very well. She was also excited to go back to her own room because she was tired of sharing a room with her younger cousin. And I thought living with a roommate was tough my freshman year! Imagine living with a twelve year old! I know I would lose my mind for sure.
