Hi, Kevin. How is it going?
Ah, not so great.
What's wrong?
I've got a big problem with the Shakespeare course which is required for my major.
Is that all filled up?
No, there's plenty of room, but I have to take the starter course before I can take Professor Miller's Shakespeare course. It is only offered in the evening.
You don't like evening classes?
That's not the point. I work in the cafe every evening. I need the money to pay my tuition.
You can ask someone that could switch hours with you. Maybe just switch a couple of evenings since the course probably only meets two times a week.
I wish I could. My boss just did me a favor by putting me on evenings. And he'll hit the ceiling if I ask to change again.
Wait a minute. I have an idea. Have you checked the course over at the community college? They might offer an introductory course during the day.
That's a great idea. I'm free this afternoon. I'll go over and check it out.
Their courses are actually cheaper.
Thanks for your advice. I'll let you know what happens.
