Speaker 1
I am a very outgoing person, will you like to go out for a drink.
Speaker 2
Sorry, I don't drink. I'm very health conscious and vegan.
Speaker 1
Okay what about singing maybe we can go for karaoke.
Speaker 2
That might be fun. I enjoy singing when I work in the garden.
Speaker 1
That is fine, singing is what I do when I am not working hard.
Speaker 2
Great, I go to community college so I can become a nurse. How about you?
Speaker 1
My work is so demanding. We deal with contruction.
Speaker 2
Wow, sounds hard. I enjoy my cat and two dogs when I need relaxing.
Speaker 1
My daughters too love animals.
Speaker 2
They sure are fun. Between them and my volunteer work it keeps me busy.
Speaker 1
Growing up in mexico teach me a lot of things.
Speaker 2
Yes, different for sure. I enjoy mexican herbs in my cooking.
Speaker 1
Definitely they keep you healthy and fit.
Speaker 2
Fitness and health are key. It's why I like vegan dishes and the medical field.

Speaker 1
My daughters just painted the cutest picture together.
Speaker 2
Oh, nice! What did they paint?
Speaker 1
It was me at a work site building a house.
Speaker 2
Oh that sounds cute. I see you like to sing, I do too. Do your daughters also like singing?
Speaker 1
They don't like to sing as much as they like to make fun of me for singing. Typical right?
Speaker 2
Oh, ha! Well, since I don't have kids my animals don't give me that type of feedback. :) What do you like to sing?
Speaker 1
I sing a lot of opera. Maybe that's why they make fun of me. They don't think a 200 pound construction worker should sing opera. Their loss. What do you like to sing?
Speaker 2
I like to sing whatever is on the radio at the time I am in my garden. Do you do any gardening?
Speaker 1
Not really. I'm usually too exhausted when I get home to do more outdoor work. 
Speaker 2
Well that makes sense. Construction work is very physical. Do you do residential or commercial construction?
Speaker 1
Commercial. My kids don't actually understand the difference. That's why they drew me building a house. 
Speaker 2
That's understandable. Do you think your daughters will have any interest in working in the construction field?

Speaker 1
I am so exhausted from work today. I am going to pick my daughters up from school and go home to lay down. Hopefully they will be able to occupy themselves by drawing so I can rest. 
Speaker 2
That would be convenient! 
Speaker 1
It really would. I don't know how likely it is to work out, though. They usually want me right there with them while they paint.
Speaker 2
You could lay down and use the canvas as a shelter! hahaha
Speaker 1
I would probably wake up to find out they had used me as a canvas!
Speaker 2
That would mean you still got your sleep though!
Speaker 1
True! But what a mess! How are your college classes going?
Speaker 2
Easy! I can't wait to heal people!
Speaker 1
That's great! Have you gotten into actual nursing classes yet, or are you still doing your basics?
Speaker 2
I'm already working on cadavers learning all kinds of stuff. Pretty advanced now!
Speaker 1
I don't know that I could do that, it sounds gross. I'm glad you enjoy it, though!
Speaker 2
It's necessary work for the betterment of mankind! Someone has to do it!

Speaker 1
Are you ready to start your placement? I figured after your cadaver class they'd put you in the field.
Speaker 2
Not quite yet. I still have some work to do.
Speaker 1
Oh really? What else do you need to do to become ready?
Speaker 2
Well, the cadaver class was just part of it. There is so much more to nursing. Things like the ER, operating rooms, taking vitals of the patients. There's just so much!
Speaker 1
I can't even imagine! What inspired you to follow this path in life?
Speaker 2
I think it's just a calling. Some people can do it and some people build houses! Ha! I've always had the sense to help people. This is just my way to do it. I find the human body fascinating. I love how all the parts fit together.. 
Speaker 1
I could never do anything like that! When do you think you will be finished with all of your schooling?
Speaker 2
Well, the whole course takes about 3 years to complete. I'm about halfway through. Right now the classes are pretty easy, but I expect they will get harder as I go along.
Speaker 1
Oh, I bet! But I am sure you are doing great! When you graduate you should do something big to celebrate all your hard work.
Speaker 2
Thanks. I probably will celebrate, but I'm not sure what I'll do. Maybe you can come and sing to me? I'm not a huge opera fan, but I'll make an exception for you! 
Speaker 1
Deal! I would love to come visit and sing! That will be a goal we can work towards haha. I would love to throw you a big party.
Speaker 2
That's a great idea. Thanks! I bet you have some great Mexican food recipes. Just remember, I'm a vegan. Do you cook for your family or are you too tired after work?

I attended a cadaver class. I am preparing to start my placement. I am not a fan of operas.
Speaker 1
How has your garden doing?
Speaker 2
Great!  My vegetables have been growing well.  I have some tomatoes that I'm going to use to make a pasta sauce tonight.  Plus I grew some really pretty peonies this year!
Speaker 1
That's good! It's been a hot summer, and many of the houses I work at have dead gardens, because of the heat! What else do you put in your sauce? Onions, basil, garlic?
Speaker 2
Onions and basil plus some sausage or other meat if I'm feeling adventurous.  It usually turns out pretty good.
Speaker 1
I like to fry up some grass-fed hamburger, chop it really fine, and then add olive oil and onions. Mix that with the sauce, and it's good to go! No need for storebought. I feel very Italian making it and singing opera as I cook!
Speaker 2
I'll need to try that next time!  How do your daughters feel about your singing?
Speaker 1
They cover their ears and go to their rooms, haha. But they come back for dinner once it's done! They have good taste...in both food and singing!
Speaker 2
sounds like it haha! How has work been lately?
Speaker 1
Very busy! Everyone is bustling this summer, and we're booked for almost 3 years on projects, in advance. How about yourself? Doing any summer job before classes start back up?
Speaker 2
No, I'm really just trying to relax.  I was feeling really burned out after classes ended.
Speaker 1
That's good, saving your energy for next semester! Stay at home, drink lemonade, rest, and read a few good books is what I did!
Speaker 2
That's exactly what I plan on doing.  I'm hoping that I'll feel more refreshed before classes start.
