W: Hi Tim! How are you?
M: Fine, thank you.
W: I’d been wondering when I’d run into you. Have you been here long?
M: I arrived yesterday, on Sunday. How about you?
W: I got here a few days ago, on Saturday. No—wait a minute, what’s to day?—Sorry Friday, not Saturday.
M: But we didn’t have to be here till today.
W: Yes, I know, but I wanted to get my things moved into my room, and just take a look around. So, did you decide to do English in the end?
M: No, I changed my mind and opted for history instead. And you’re doing biology, if I remember correctly.
W: Yes, although to start with I couldn’t decide between that and geography.
M: How much reading have you got? I was given an amazingly long list of books to read. See!
W: Wow, it does look pretty long.
M: Well, I counted 57. I could hardly believe it! What’s your list like?
W: Well, it’s not as long as yours, but there are 43 altogether. I don’t know how I’m going to get through them all.
M: Well you don’t have to read them all this week! You just have to stay ahead of the lectures and seminars. Have you got your class schedule yet?
W: Yep. It came with the reading list. When’s your first lecture?
M: Tuesday. How about you?
W: The day after. It’s my busiest day; I’ve got two lectures in the morning and one in the afternoon.
