Kate: Hi, you must be Yuki.

Yuki: Yeah. Hope you don’t mind that I snatched up the window side. It’s first come, first served around here.

Kate: That’s okay. I prefer the darker side of the room anyway. I’m not exactly a morning person. I’m Kate, by the way.

Yuki: Good luck making it to all of your early classes. First years always get stuck with 8:00 am’s.

Kate: I think I have Monday and Wednesday early classes. The other days, I don’t start until 10:00 or so.

Yuki: How did you get off so lucky? Last year, all my classes started at 7:00 or 8:00.

Kate: You’re in second year?

Yuki: Yeah. No offense, but I can’t believe they placed me with a frosh.

Kate: It is kind of weird. I mean for you. I’m okay with it, though. I’m majoring in English. How about you?

Yuki: Computer science. I guess we won’t be studying together. Go figure.

Kate: That’s too bad. It would’ve been handy to have a study partner in the same room.

Yuki: I have a bunch of study partners from last year, but none of them are living on rez, which is going to be a real pain.

Kate: Well, I guess I should go help my dad grab my stuff. He’s not impressed that this is a coed dorm.

Yuki: Why not? Doesn’t he trust you?

Kate: He thinks I should be concentrating on studying, not dating.

Yuki: If it’s anything like last year, you won’t like any of the guys around here anyway. I have some single friends I could set you up with. Doubt you’re their type, though.
