W: How do you like your classes this semester?
M: Not bad, I guess．Thermodynamics is the hardest．It takes a long time for me to do the prablems, and then I don’t have enough time to do the reading for English and history．There just aren’t enough hours in a day.
W: I hear you.
M: How are your classes?
W: Pretty good, actually．All of my professors are great, and I really like my discussion class in Russian history.
M: Oh, yeah? How come?
W: Well, it’s really useful to get a chance to talk about what Dr．Finley says in the lecture, and also hear what other people have to say．We have two really cool TAs who lead the discussions.
M: Oh, yeah?
W: One guy is working on his doctorate in Russian studies, and he spent a year in Russia learning the language．He has this amazing ability to tie Dr．Finley’s lectures to things that he’s actually seen and experienced in Russia．He’s a great storyteller．The other TA-Anna-her family is from Russia, and she also has great stories, but mostly I like her way of drawing everyone into the discussion.
M: That sounds great for you．But personally, I’ve never cared for discussion classes．I prefer the lecture format．I’d rather listen to my professor than to my classmates.
W: Really? I like the discussions because we can go beyond the lecture and the reading．Not that the lectures are boring or anything-I’m not saying that-what I mean is, I get a lot out of the discussions．I think I learn more, you know, when I get a chance to talk about Russian history．I certainly remember more of the details．And that sure helped me on the first test.
M: Well, that’s good．I’m glad you like your class．So, are you still working in the pizza restaurant?
W: No．Not enough time．I need a job, but the restaurant was getting to be too much time．Somebody was always asking me to take their shift, and I’d end up working 25 hours a week．I never had enough time to study.
M: Hey, I know just the job for you! I saw-there’s a notice on the job board in the Student Center-I just saw it today．There’s a job opening for host of the graduate student lounge.
W: Oh, really? What does the host of the graduate student lounge do?
M: Oh, I don’t know ..．make coffee and talk to people, stuff like that．But maybe you’d get a chance to do some reading during the quiet times.
W: You know, I think that might be just the kind of job I could handle right now.
