So if anyone knows me, they know I have an obsession with playing with cards. Especially Pounce! Luckily my roommates like playing cards as well. I must say though that I am the all time star at this game. Melissa already knew how to play it and we taught Britta. It was quite entertaining. We started out playing in our kitchen, but we decided it was getting too hot inside so we decided to go out side and lay a blanket down in between our two buildings.... oh and we couldn't forget our computer to play music on so we could jam out to it.  With in 2 min we had people surrounding us looking over our shoulders at us playing this game. Then a mans voice said, "Can I join" this would be Tom, our new friend. He spoke pretty good English but he was very awkward, you could tell he was very intimidated or embarrassed one of the two. He just kept saying that his English was not good. 

When we were trying to teach him we all decided to go slow.... very slow, but it just so happened to be that my hands were shuffling through my cards really fast. I didn't realize until Britta said,"Court you really know how to go slow for BEGINNERS." It was really funny, but I think you kind of had to be there to laugh. Oh how we love Tom, I have a feeling he will be around for a while, seeming that he does live on the 6th floor of our apartment complex!
