Listen to a conversation between a student and the administrative assistant for the biology department.(man) Thanks for letting me into the biology lab, but no luck.(woman) And you're sure you've looked everywhere at home, too.(man) I did. Uh…Professor Webb is going to be furious. She trusted me with managing the lab.(woman) Look, these things happen. For now, we can get in with the other keys we have. And then we can have security replaced the lock as a matter of procedure. It's not a big deal.(man) Yeah, but Professor Webb is my advisor, and I was gonna ask her for a letter of recommendation for graduate school. There's no way she'll…(woman) Look, you've been her lab assistant for what…3 years now?(man) Yeah(woman) Well, she didn't have to hire you for all those semesters. Did she?(man) I guess not.(woman)and I know Professor Webb pretty well. It's just an inconvenience. That's all.(man) I hope you're right.(woman) Trust me. Now, as long as I’ve got you here, I need to know if you'll be attending the hawk watch next month. We're expecting to see a really impressive migration of the birds at this year's event.The department had asked me to keep a list of confirmed names of people who are attending. A lot of people told us they'd come to last year's hawk watch, but not many showed up.(man) I'd love to go, but it's an hour away, and I don't have a car. So…(woman) Oh, the department’s renting a van to take people there.(man) You're really making sure people will be there, huh? Well, in that case…(woman) I’ll put your name down.(man) Great. Do you know what time we leave?(woman) Promptly at 6 am.(man) Wow, I'd better reconsider that concert the night before then. Cause I know I'll sleep through my alarm the next morning.(woman) That's funny. I'm going to a concert that night, too. My favorite Jazz band is playing downtown at…(man) Central café?(woman) Yeah! Huh! I never figured that band would attract a university crowd.(man) Well, I'm usually one of the youngest people at their shows. I don't mind though. Did you see them at the concert hall last summer?(woman) When the guitar player broke one of his strings but kept on playing anyway? Wasn't that amazing?(man) It sure was. What a professional!(woman) Well, if you have to miss this show, you'll have another chance to see them later in the semester.
