: Oh, hi Dave. Long time, no see!
: Hi Maria. I was in the neighborhood, so I thought I'd drop by.
: Come on in. [Thanks.] Take a seat. Would you like anything to drink? I have Sprite or orange juice.
: Sprite would be fine. Uh, so, how have you been?
: Oh, not bad. And you?
: Oh, I'm doing okay, but school has been really hectic these days, and I haven't had time to relax.
: By the way, what's your major anyway?
: Hotel management.
: Well, what do you want to do once you graduate?
: Uh... I haven't decided for sure, but I think I'd like to work for a hotel or travel agency in this area. How about you?
: Well, when I first started college, I wanted to major in French, but I realized I might have a hard time finding a job using the language, so I changed majors to computer science. [Oh]. With the right skills, landing a job in the computer industry shouldn't be as difficult.
: So, do you have a part-time job to support yourself through school?
: Well, fortunately for me, I received a four-year academic scholarship [Wow] that pays for all of my tuition and books.
: Wow. That's great.
: Yeah. How about you? Are you working your way through school?
: Yeah. I work three times a week at a restaurant near campus.
: Oh. What do you do there?
: I'm a cook.
: How do you like your job?
: It's okay. The other workers are friendly, and the pay isn't bad.
