Online Russian Course

<-NARRATOR:-> Listen to a conversation between two students
<-MALE STUDENT:-> Hey, Lisa! How are you? Any big plans for summer break?
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Well, I thought I knew what my plans were... but now I'm not sure.
<-MALE STUDENT:-> How come?
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Well, you know how we're required to take a foreign language course before we graduate?
<-MALE STUDENT:-> Yeah?
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> I want to take it this summer, since I'm graduating next year and I'll have a busy course schedule.
So I signed up to take a Russian course online over the summer, because I'm hoping to take a trip to Russia at some point.
<-MALE STUDENT:-> Online? That's cool...
you wouldn't have to stay around campus and you could do it from home.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Exactly, you do everything over the Internet.
But not enough people signed up for the class, so they canceled it.
Now I don't know what to do-I still need to fulfill the requirement.
<-MALE STUDENT:-> Well, could you take a Russian class on campus this summer instead of the online course?
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Yeah, there is a regular Russian class being offered on campus.
And it has space, so I could sign up...
and just stay in the dorms this summer, and live on campus.
<-MALE STUDENT:-> OK.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> I was looking forward to being home this summer, though, and spending some time with my family.
My sister's coming back from China-she's been working there for a year, and I haven't seen her.
<-MALE STUDENT:-> Oh, that's disappointing.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> I checked, though, and I could take a different language course online.
There's one being offered in Spanish.
<-MALE STUDENT:-> Great! So why don't you just do that?
You'd be able to spend time with your sister.
<-FEMALE STUDENT:-> Yeah, but I'm not that excited about taking Spanish.
I thought it would be fun to learn some Russian... it's more interesting to me.
Though at least this way I could get the requirement out of the way... so I don't know.
