hello , Kate ! How are you doing ?   fine , thanks . How are you ?   fine . How are your term papers ?   oh , my lord . I haven't really started them .   how could it be ? They are due two weeks later .   I know but I was busy with my part-time job the last few days .   Kate , you know , I am thinking of getting a part-time job next year because I really need more money and I don't want to ask my parents for any more . But I'm so busy ! How am I going to work and study   to be honest with you , Jason , I don't think I'm doing a very good job of balancing my schoolwork with my job . I'm always two steps behind . I've got to get back to the dorm and continue writing tha   my advisor ?
