1--Hey, Jordan, is that you? Long time no see!
2--Oh, hey, no kidding! I haven't seen you since orientation three months ago! So how've you been? Settling into college life OK?
1--Yeah, I think so! I pledged Phi Iota Alpha, so I'm living at the frat house now.
2--Oh, so you're a frat boy now, huh?
1--Yeah, yeah, I know, it's totally cliche, but really, I think it's been a good decision. I've got a lot of support and good suggestions from the guys. What about you? What have you been up to?
2--Not much. I'm still living at home and commuting to school. I ended up dropping that metalworking class I was so excited about. It just wasn't as interesting as I'd hoped. The guidance counselor suggested that I focus on my prerequisite courses so that I can make sure the credits count.
1--That sounds smart... but kind of boring.
2--Yeah, it is, a little bit. I joined the Great Outdoors Club, though, which has been a lot of fun. We've gone on two camping trips already, and I've made some good friends.
1--That's cool. Hey, so have you decided on your major yet?
2--Definitely pre-med. What about you?
1--I still have no clue... but we don't have to declare a major till our sophomore year, so I've got time! Oops, I'm late for class. Gotta run!
2--OK, take care! Hey, nice running into you!
1--Yeah, you too!

1--嘿，乔丹，是你吗？好久不见！
2--哦，嘿，真的是这样啊！自从上次分开我们已经有三个月没见了！你现在好吗？开始你的大学生活了吗？
1--是的，我是这么想的！我向ΦIA起誓了，所以我现在住在兄弟会的房子。
2--哦，你现在是兄弟会的人了，额？
1--是的，是的，我知道，这完全是陈词滥调。但是，我真得觉得这是一个好决定。那儿的兄弟们给了我很多很好的建议。你怎么样了？你后来做了什么？
2--没做太多。我还是住在家里然后往返学校。我没有上我很喜欢的金工课。这可不是我希望的。咨询顾问建议我把注意力放在预学课程上，这样才能确保能拿到学分。
1--听起来这样做是明智的……但是有点无聊。
2--是的，是有点无聊。但是我加入了户外运动俱乐部，那里很好玩。我们已经去露营两次了，并且结交了一些好朋友。
1--酷。嘿，你已经决定你的专业了吗？
2--当然是医学预科。你呢？
1--我还是没有头绪……但是我们直到大二那年才须要定下专业，所以还有时间做决定！哎呀，上课快迟到了。得走了！
2--好的，保重！嘿，很高兴见到你！
1--是的，你也是！
