Braden CP #5

 It has been raining a lot lately, so Masoud and I met in Strozier and talked like we did on our first meeting. He wanted to go to the beach, but unfortunately it's a little too far away and neither of us had a whole day to make the trip. He did, however, have his birthday last week, and he went to Chili's with his roommates. They get along really well, and he shared with me a picture of them at the restaurant. He told me in a previous meeting that in Saudi Arabia they don't usually do much to celebrate birthdays. That's because the families are large, and there would be too many birthdays to be making cake all the time. He has 8 brothers and sisters! I thought that just one was a lot, but I guess I should think again about that one. Family must feel a little different when it's that large and far apart in age.
