I completed my 8 meetings with Eiko! I was determined and I did it!
We met Thursday morning before my last final. It was a nice break from studying and a great way to clear my mind before taking my test. We had breakfast together and it was nice just to sit and chat with her alone. It was sad to leave her. I feel like it was more than an assignment for Eiko. I sense that she does not have many friends to talk to, and she loves to talk.
She asked me a lot about my finals. She doesn't seem to understand how a test can take two and a half hours, but I assured her that it is possible! She was surprised that they were all so close together and that I had to move out while I was also studying. I'm not going to lie, I'm surprised I got it all done.
I asked her about her move. I finally realized that she is moving to Southlake. I thought this whole time that she would still be in Fort Worth. She and her husband are both taking loads back and forth themselves. They will hire a moving company for the big furniture, but they are doing most of it themselves. It's a 40 min drive so that is definitely a lot of time and effort. Moving out of my small dorm by myself gave me a better perspective of what it requires to move.
Like I said, it was sad to leave, but I plan on keeping up with my relationship with Eiko. This opportunity has definitely inspired me to be more involved off campus, aside from my studies.
