How was your economics class?
Well, to be honest with you, I fell asleep during the lecture.
Was it that boring?
No, it wasn't the teacher's fault. The problem is that I can't stay awake for a two-hour lecture. I have been working in the evening at the hospital.
Isn't that going to affect your grades?
Probably. But I need to work to pay my school fees.
Maybe you should talk to the financial aid office. There's no point in working so hard to make money if you are just going to fail your classes.
But they are going to try to offer me a bunch of loans. I am trying to avoid going into debt. That's why I've been working!
OK, then I have a better idea. Why don't you go to the student employment office and see if they can help you find another job? Even if you have to work, there's no reason why you should work at night.
That's a great idea. I actually have a break before my next class, so I'll go there now.
