After meeting with Majdi on Friday I had another meeting scheduled with Ladji.  By this time I was very hungry and had not had food since twelve o'clock.  I picked him up from an apartment of another girl from the Ivory Coast.  Apparently they all hang out together.  Anyway picking him up he was in a fantastic soccer suit that was bright orange and had all the colors of the Ivory Coast on it.  Once he got in the car we talked for a bit while I decide what I wanted to eat.

Because it was Friday I decided to get some Soul Veg!!!! On Fridays they have a chili cheese mac that is vegan and to die for.  Seriously if you haven't had it please go on a Friday and check it out.  Anyway earlier during my tutoring planning time I was able to grade one of his class papers that he had sent me.  In fact the one that he rewrote from his corrected outline last week.  As we sat in Soul Veg I was able to give him the corrections that I had found on his paper.  This was a very encouraging process for me because his teacher that had also graded the paper had almost the exact same corrections.  We went over the finer point as last time we just got him on topic.  I was very glad to have pointed him in the right direction and he actually writes very well for a non-native speaker.  We took the entire time to go over the corrections and why they were corrections so that he would not make the mistakes again.  Unfortunately I forgot to have him make a mistake log which I will do next time.

The tutoring time ended with full bellies and corrected papers and to be honest you cannot really ask for more than that.  Ladji is a really good student and he listens so i am very glad to have him as a tutee.
