Conversation One

W: Hi, Alan. Sorry for not calling you back sooner.

You said on the phone you had something you needed to discuss with me?

M: Well, to get right down to it, I'm having second thoughts about my major.

With my family situation getting more complicated and the end of my university education nearing, persisting with Art History just doesn't seem the right choice.

W: Alan, in the last 3 years, I have heard nothing but how passionate you are about the Art History programme.
