Tape 2 A Day in the Life of a College Student
Situation 1 Waking Up Late
(Charles and Mike are roommates in a college dormitory.)
Charles: Mike, don't you have a class at noon?
Mike: Huh?
Charles: I said it's eleven forty-two, and you have a history class at twelve.
Mike: What? Eleven forty-two? Why didn't you wake me up earlier?

Mike: (Crawling out of bed.) Yeah, whatever, it's my fault anyway. I shouldn't be out drinking till three AM when I have class the next morning.
Charles: Oh, you finally figured that out, huh? By the way, that's exactly what you said last Thursday morning when you got up late. You're hopeless.
Mike: I thought we decided that you weren't my mother. Are you finished with your lecture?
Charles: Yes. And you are going to be late for yours if you're not careful. It is already eleven fifty-three.

Charles: .....
Mike: I asked you a question!
Charles: I thought you told me to quit talking to you, something about making you late.
Mike: Okay, okay, I'm sorry. Where is the book?
Charles: It's right over there on your desk.
Mike: (Grabbing the book and running for the door.) You bastard.
Charles: You're welcome.
Situation 2 A History Lecture
(Sitting down in the back of the lecture hall.)
Mike: I thought for sure I'd be late.
Sarah: Hey, Mike. You are late. But so is Professor Clark. He's getting old. Maybe he forgot about class today.
Mike: We should be so lucky. No, I'm just happy that he's later than me. I was really worried.
Sarah: Oh, here he comes.
(Entering from the front the room and walking up to the podium.)
Prof. Clark: Good morning, class, or should I say good afternoon? Twelve o'clock class always confu me. In any ca, let's begin today's lecture. Today I want to speak about the American Civil War, which I am assuming all of you read about last week in a book by Huntington. The Civil War can be analyzed in many ways, but today I want to discuss it as a result of economics. The Northern United States industrialized rather early and had little need for slave labor in their society. The southern states, on the other hand, had an economy bad on agriculture, particularly cotton. This caud a much higher demand for slaves to supply manual labor in the fields. Eventually this fundamental difference economic structures led to a difference in ideology. And, as ideological differences often do, this led to a conflict which eventually resulted in war. In this way, the Civil War is not unlike the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, which was also largely caud by differing economic systems.
Situation 3 Brunch
(Class ends and Sarah and Mike walk out of the building.)
Sarah: Mike, would you like to have lunch?
Mike: I'd love to. But it's actually brunch for me. I woke up late and haven't eaten anything.
Sarah: Sure, brunch is good too. I know a place that rves breakfast all day. And they have great sandwiches too. I already had breakfast.
Mike: Great. I can have some pancakes, and you get whatever you want. I just can't start the day with a sandwiches. porra
(Sarah and Mike walk across campus to a restaurant.)
