How is your day going so far?

I've been chasing my two twins around all day, so I'm ready for bedtime. How about you?
Speaker 1
I have been driving around a lot today.
Speaker 2
Do you have any plans for the weekend?
Speaker 1
I think I am going to an art museum.
Speaker 2
That sounds fun! I'm going to try and play tennis and go to church on sunday.
Speaker 1
Tennis is fun. I'm not that good at it though. I like to play badminton.
Speaker 2
I've never played that. I'm originally from sweden and we play a lot of tennis there.
Speaker 1
It's actually really run and fast paced. I have a cousin that just moved to sweden..
Speaker 2
I'm sure he'll love it there. I moved to the us around 12 years ago.

She does love it. She says it is very different from here. She loves the coffee breaks.

Speaker 2
I attend a Methodist church, it's a small but I like and they have a great Sunday School for my kids.
Speaker 1
That sounds very quaint. I'm personally an atheist. Were you raised into religion?
Speaker 2
I wasn't raised with religion, Sweden is primarlyy a non-religious country, but when I moved to the United States my husband attended church every Sunday and I started going with him. 
Speaker 1
Why did you decide to move to the United States?
Speaker 2
I had a great job opportunity here after I graduated from university. Also, Sweden is very cold! Have you ever been to Sweden?
Speaker 1
My cousin lives there but I've never been lucky enough to visit him. What job opportunity did you move for?
Speaker 2
I work in medicine and was offered a great fellowship with a hospital here. My job gives me great flexibility so I can still make time for my kids and my hobbies including tennis.
Speaker 1
Wow that's interesting. Do you have a specific area of medicine you work in? I work as a scientist. I'm not very good at tennis but I keep practicing!

That is very sweet! I need a vacation as well.
Speaker 1
Do you miss Sweden a lot? Do you still have family there?
Speaker 2
Yes, I do. My parents still live there.
Speaker 1
Oh nice! Is it expensive to travel there? I need to start saving some money if I'm going to go visit my cousin.
Speaker 2
It is very expensive, that is why I have not visited in so long. 
Speaker 1
I figured as much. How's your job at the hospital? 
Speaker 2
The job is good! I love the flexible hours so I have time with my family!
Speaker 1
Flexibility at a job is the greatest. My job has some flexibility but I could always use more.
Speaker 2
Yeah that is true. How is your job as a scientist? 
Speaker 1
It is rewarding but is very difficult work at times. That's why I often need some time to decompress and be active.
Speaker 2
At least it is rewarding. Being active is amazing, I have yet to try playing badminton.

Speaker 1
Yeah that would be great. What would you recommend first that we do when we get there?
Speaker 2
For a newcomer, I'd recommend checking out the volcanos. Its a bit of a unique outing, but I think they are really beautiful. Do you have any favorite things to do when traveling>?
Speaker 1
Yes, I always like to check out local music and local coffee shops for random conversations. Would you want to do that?
Speaker 2
Same! I'm so glad you said that. Coffee shops are literally my favorite thing in the whole world, and Sweden has some awesome ones. I think growing up there is what sparked my interest in good coffee as well as good chocolates
Speaker 1
Wow. That must have been so cool growing up there. Do you prefer Swedish music or American music?
Speaker 2
Honestly both! I love swedish dance music, but I also love american hip hop. Its so hard to choose. Do you have any music recs?
Speaker 1
For American hip hop? Wu-Tang, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Juvenile, Grand Master Flash etc. I am a fan of decades of hip-hop, just not anything since 2010ish.
Speaker 2
Oh wow, yes I've definitely heard of some of those. I love Dr. Dre! Whats wrong with more recent music? Thats definitely what I'm more acquainted with
Speaker 1
I couldn't tell you, I stopped listening to new hip hop around then. I got more focused into jamband music and classic reggae. Have you heard much classic reggae?
Speaker 2
No I have never even heard of that genre! What's it like? How would you describe the vibe/

Speaker 1
Okay, I will see if there are any castles near where we will be. Do you have any plans to go back to sweden?
Speaker 2
Not in the near future, but I'm hoping to get back next summer. I love hitting up all the local beach spots with my old friends.
Speaker 1
That sounds nice! So how is your job going?
Speaker 2
Always interesting, that's for sure! I have been training to nurse on a new floor, so that'll give me a change of scenery.
Speaker 1
Does that add a lot of extra work to your plate?
Speaker 2
At the moment, yes. I'll be in Pediatrics, which has always been my passion. It's a completely different environment than the ER.
Speaker 1
Oh wow! That is so exciting for you. Will you get to stay in pediatrics after the training is complete?
Speaker 2
Yup. I'll be here to stay. I find working with children can be emotionally taxing, but also more rewarding. Have you been up to anything new?
