Sam: Hi Leah, it's your favourite former student here! How are you?
Leah: Sam! How are you doing? How's Uni going?
Sam: It's amazing! I love my flat, my friends and course! 
Leah: Oh, I'm so pleased. I know what it's like to have dodgy flatmates, from bitter experience!
Sam: Well, there were a couple of pesky vegans in the flat at the beginning of term, but they decided to leave mid-Oct. We didn't argue or anything though. They were thoroughly disturbed by our burger addiction and quietly found somewhere else. 
Leah: Vegans are people too! 
Sam: Yes, maybe! Anyway, How's college going?
Leah: Hectic as always! Jon is still entertaining us with his guitar playing and freestyle rapping!
Sam: Oh yes, I remember us all working in the studio and him singing Bowie songs when he died. It wasn't bad!
Leah: Yes, I don't mind Jon's singing, but the rapping is another story! I think he practises it in college because it annoys his wife too much!
Sam: 😄
Leah: I think coming in third in that rap battle in Bristol went to his head! Hope you're working hard, my boy!
Sam: Of course I am Leah, what with my 3 deadlines this month and my job at the cinema. No time for partying at the mo!
Leah: I can't believe it, Sam! When I was in Poly it was all raves and glowsticks! 
Sam: I'd love to have seen you then! It's not the 90s anymore, Leah! We've got fees, loans and virtually no grants! It's work, work work now!
Leah: I'm just kidding, I know what my nephew goes through.
Sam: Anyway, just completed some new illustrations. They're on Instagram if you know what that is?
Leah: Cheek! I'm not over the hill yet! I'll check them out.
Sam: I saw one of your book covers again the other day, stunning! 
Leah: Yes, my heady days as a freelancer. I miss it sometimes, then I think of the money...
Sam: Well, it's a precarious profession, isn't it? I've got all this to come.
Leah: Come for a chat in the hols. I'll dig out my old contacts book, give you a few names.
Sam: Thanks Leah. See you next month, probably. Bye!
Leah: Bye Sam. See you soon!
