Come in, come in, what can I do for you?
Professor Donald, are you giving your advanced geology course again next semester?
Yes, I am applying on it.
I wonder if I could enroll in it. I know it is a graduate course and I'm a junior, but...
Aren't you a bit young? I have a lot of qualified seniors to take the course and they usually have a hard time keeping up.
I know, but geology of the American west is my major interest and I have done a large reading in the field.
Well, if you think you are ready, I'll let you enroll.
Oh, thanks, professor Donald. This is really very nice of you.
