STUDENT: Actually, I ... I’m very excited about thewhole thing of taking up studying again but, youknow, I’m a little nervous about whether I’ll manageto get everything done. I suppose it’s the same forall mature students?
OFFICER: Of course it is. Two of the keycomponents of the course are time management andovercoming procrastination. People discover that,once they learn to plan their days, all the work canbe accomplished and there’ll still be time for leisure.
STUDENT: Is there an enrolment fee?
OFFICER: Well, er, oh, just a minute, let’s see ... Ah, the cost is thirty pounds, which includesall course materials and morning lea. You have to arrange your own lunch.
STUDENT: That wouldn't be a problem. I already make sandwiches for my three kids and mywife and myself every day. I won’t have to change my routine.
OFFICER: No. Now, I need to tell you that this is a very popular course and it’s essential thatyou hook well ahead of time. In fact, the Course Convenor tells me that there are only fiveplaces left.
