Brian's Progress Report

Trini has been trying to help out Brian with the ladies and I'm supposed to keep tabs on the guy. So for the first two weeks out here I've sent Trini progress reports via email. I'd thought share this one with everyone.


TERM: SUMMER ABROAD '04

WEEK THREE GRADE: B
WEEK TWO GRADE: C
WEEK ONE GRADE: F
CUMULATIVE GPA: 1.667

COMMENT(S): Last Tuesday night at the Fez, Brian got into a conversation with a GRITS - she was not in fact a GRITS but from Wisconsin, I was really drunk that night. She overheard Brian and I talking and asked if we were American and that's how they got started talking. I prematurely ended his game though by spilling a drink on her, her friends, and on Ryan's shoes - lesson, a single shot can have a wide spillage area. That was Tuesday night. The day prior I believe, he asked one of the cute receptionists at the gym where the movie theaters were. His first and, thus far, only initiation of conversation with any of the cute girls we've come across, though it must be stated again that there aren't that many cute girls out here in Cambridge. Later that week though, she asked me instead of him whether we found the movie theater and I wasn't even there when he had asked. So that's keeping him from the B+. But at the pace he's making progress I expect him to be in P3C within... three weeks... or so... too bad there's less than two weeks in the program.

But it's all about baby steps and I wholly expect Brian to be soon providing testimonials for Trini's approach.
