Narrator
Listen to a conversation between two students. They are both studying to be English teachers.
Woman
Did you register already for your classes next semester?
Man
Yes, I did.
Woman
What are you taking?
Man
Um…contemporary literature, English style, um… the teaching seminar, and I still have to do my student teaching. I’m gonna help teach a writing class of the junior high.
Woman
That’s a heavy schedule.
Man
Yeah, it will be really busy and I’m also taking a theory class. But I have to quit my job a couple of weeks ‘cause it will be just too much.
Woman
Where do you work at?
Man
Buster’s coffee shop, but just till the end of the month. What are you doing next semester?
Woman
Actually a teaching seminar too. And I will have to start writing my thesis. You know, I’m also going for my master’s degree.
Man
So you are not writing any poetry, I imagine.
Woman
No, I was actually thinking about revising some of my poems and sending them into places for publication.
Man
Cool, you should. Um, did you hear about that new poetry club, The Poetry Kitchen?
Woman
Yeah, no time.
Man
It’s fun. It’s Sunday night. You don’t do anything at Sunday nights?
Woman
I do homework Sunday nights.
Man
Well, it’s only from 7 to 9.
Woman
Is it every Sunday?
Man
Last Sunday of every month. I don’t know about this month, ‘cause it’s probably a little too close to Thanksgiving, so they might move it up. I don’t know what they are gonna to do, but it’s a good time, it’s fun, some really impressive readings.
Woman
Who? From our class?
Man
Some people from our class are reading. A lot of them go, sometimes even the professor.
Woman
Really? I don’t know if I would want reading in front of her.
Man
You wouldn’t have to read, you can just watch. I just watched the first time, but it’s a good environment to read them, I think anyway.
Woman
I probably have to write something new, so maybe during the summer, I just can’t now.
Man
Yeah, it wouldn’t be the same just reading old stuff. Are you going to do summer school?
Woman
Definitely. Otherwise, I will be short 6 credits. I have no choice.
Man
Yeah, me too. This is the second summer I’ll have to take classes. I gotta go now, my Shakespeare class starts at twenty minutes.
