Dropping Eaves in the Student Center (dialogue exercise)

[disclaimer: I obviously started listening in the middle of a discussion. I have no idea what they're talking about here at the beginning.]

GIRL- That smells so good.

GUY  It's very good. There's apples and... [inaudible]... french toast.

-Okay, this asks for your sex.

What?

-Gender is different from sex.

Oh...

-The next whole test is gonna be over this stuff. I think I'm gonna get something to eat before my next class.

When is it?

-9:30. I was late last time and he saw me walk in... I don't really want anything here though. I feel like I eat at the same places all the time.

Here you can have this.

-Thanks. So I saw Dr. H. yesterday.

Oh I saw her, too!

RED CROSS LADY: Hey, y'all, come see us today, we're on the second floor!

BOTH: Oh, okay, thanks.

GIRL- [inaudible]

GUY  The Red Cross saves lives.

-I can't donate blood because my iron is too low.

You should take some vitamins or something.

-I've been trying to eat better and workout.

Yeah. Sometimes when I burn more calories I eat more calories.

-I've been trying to eat the right stuff, I'm hungry all the time though.

You gotta eat something that's more filling.

-Well, like fiber and stuff is really filling. I mostly just eat a lot of fruits and vegetables though.

Are you trying to lose weight or something?

-Yeah, I've dropped like six pounds.

I've dropped three or four just working out.

-The thing about that is you can workout all you want, but if you don't eat right, it doesn't do any good

[Then I had to go to class.]
