[speaker001:] Tom! How are you? We missed you at the party last night. Are you OK?
[speaker002:] I don 't know. I didn 't really feel like going out. I guess I 'm feeling a little homesick.
[speaker001:] Come on.We 'Ve been through this already! Look, I know the adjustment was hard when you first got here, but we agreed that you were gonna try and deal with it.
[speaker002:] I was. It 's just that the holidays are coming up and I won 't be able to home because I can 't afford the airfare. I 'm just longing for some of the comforts of home, like my mom 's cooking and being around my family.
[speaker001:] Yeah, it can get pretty lonely over the holidays. When I first got here, I 'd get depressed and nostalgic for anything that reminded me of home. I almost let it get to me, but then I started going out, keeping myself busy and before I knew it, I was used to to it.
[speaker002:] I see what you mean, but I 'm still bummed out.
[speaker001:] OK. how does this sound. let 's get you suited up and hit the dance club tonight. I hear that an awesome DJ is playing and there will be a lot of pretty single girls there!
[speaker002:] You know, I could really go for that. You don 't mind being my wingman for tonight?
[speaker001:] Not at all! It be fun! It will be like a boys 'night out... well kinda...
[speaker002:] Great! I must warn you though, whatever happens, don 't let me go on a drinking binge. Trust me, it 's not a pretty picture!
