Jen {20s} : educated American female student
Maya {20s}: an international student from Japan
)
[rn=JEN&vg=female]
Oh, hey Maya.
[rn=MAYA&vg=female]
Oh, Jen, what’s up?
[rn=JEN]
How’s your class this morning?
[rn=MAYA]
You mean, English 104? That one is so challenging for Japanese students like me.
[rn=JEN]
Why?
[rn=MAYA]
‘Cause I never experienced such serious debate and argument when I was in Japan.
[rn=JEN]
What was the topic?
[rn=MAYA]
Confederacy.
[rn=JEN]
Oh, gosh.
[rn=MAYA]
I mean, I wasn’t familiar with the Civil War like you guys. I gotta research the background a lot.
[rn=JEN]
Well, some uneducated Americans don’t understand why it’s so sensitive. Who is your instructor?
[rn=MAYA]
Doctor Russell.
[rn=JEN]
Russell? That’s unfortunate ‘cause he’s notorious for giving hard topics.
[rn=MAYA]
In the last debate, I barely passed with a “C.”
[rn=JEN]
Why you took him?
[rn=MAYA]
By the time I could register, other instructors were already taken. I should’ve applied for the early bird.
[rn=JEN]
Well, easy teachers’ seats are always limited. My English 104 guy was so easy. Most of us got “A”s even we weren’t that serious.
[rn=MAYA]
I’ll just deal with this shit. International students gotta pay a lot compared to Americans like you. No unit to waste. Oh, by the way.
[rn=JEN]
Huh?
[rn=MAYA]
Gotta minute, Jen?
[rn=JEN]
What time is it now?
[rn=MAYA]
Just passed three.
[rn=JEN]
I don’t have my next one until five. Where do you wanna go?
[rn=MAYA]
I wanna try Chick-Fil-A's new menu. Forgot to eat my lunch.
[rn=JEN]
Oh, sounds good ‘cause I also wanted to try the new one I saw on a Youtube ad.
[rn=MAYA]
Ok, then this way. I parked my car in Lot C.
[rn=JEN]
Got it.
