The last post was brief and done in a state of fatigue, and does not do justice to the entire experience of truckpool Sunday. I cannot attest to the content of all the conversations, since my partners ended up talking to my friends more than they talked to me, which is a good thing. At one point, as a few of us were hanging around the grill, the topic of cooking came up, naturally. My roommate happens to be an excellent cook, and he ended up talking to Hamad for a while about what dishes he likes to do, and that they should cook together sometime and share recipes. Hamad has aspirations to be in the film school at FSU, which brought up a lengthy conversation between him and my other roommate, whose girlfriend just graduated from the film school.

Whereas Hamad didn't participate in any drinking games, Daniel did wholeheartedly. He talked a big game when it came to ping pong, but I managed to put him down (nobody beats me on my own table). He was my team mate for snappa (an old water polo drinking game), and enjoyed that thoroughly.

At one point, as I was locked in an unusually long game of snappa, I saw Hamad sitting on the steps by himself, on his iphone. I asked my roommate Soren to go have a conversation with him, which he did very well, and I'm thankful for his willingness and amiableness.
