Context: I'm so close to obtaining my associate's. I only have three more classes to take. I've been at it since 2011 (!), but I just got serious in 2016.
Speaker 1: I'm finally almost done with my associate's degree! I technically started wayyyy back in 2011, but I just got serious in 2016.

Speaker 1: Thank you. :) I only have three classes left to take. I'm so excited. 
Speaker 2: That's amazing. I wish you the best of luck with the remaining classes!
Speaker 1: Thanks a lot ;)
