#Person1#: Hello, Kate! How are you doing?
#Person2#: Fine, thanks. How are you?
#Person1#: Fine. How are your term papers?
#Person2#: Oh my lord. I haven't really started them.
#Person1#: How could it be? They are due two weeks later.
#Person2#: I know but I was busy with my part-time job the last few days.
#Person1#: 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? How do you do it? Do you have some good tips on budgeting time?
#Person2#: 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 that paper. Say! Why don't you talk to your advisor? And let me know!
#Person1#: My advisor?
Kate tells Jason she hasn't started her term papers because she was busy with her part-time job. Jason wants to know how to balance work and study. Kate advises him to talk to his advisor.
