Mike: How's California? :)
Ana: So far so good! I went to my first science event at Berkeley yesterday!
Mike: Wow :D how was it?
Ana: fantastic! I finally feel a sense of purpose of some sort. Just have to find a way to make it work in the long run...
Mike: I'm sure you will. Where are you staying?
Ana: Miracle Mile. by the Grove
Mike: Cool! How's that article coming along?
Ana: Oh, it's fine, I just need to obtain references for my masters application so I figured it might help...
Mike: I see. It's really great that you're so driven!
Ana: I try :)
Mike: So what are you gonna study?
Ana: Psychology next year, hopefully. I still need to find another professor to write me a recommendation though.
Mike: Well, I'm sure you will. I remember doing that neuroscience course with you, you were the favourite of all the lecturers :)
Ana: I guess... it's easy to be good when you're passionate about something. I'm actually planning to focus on cognitive psychology. 
Mike: Have you read "How the mind works" by Pinker?
Ana: I have, he has a great understanding of evolutionary psychology, such a fantastic mind. Maybe one day I will be lucky enough to go to his lecture...
Mike: and he's definitely less annoying than Chomsky!
Ana: That's true... Especially since Chomsky's gone so political
Ana is at Berkley in California. She's staying at Miracle Mile. She wants to study cognitive psychology and needs a professor to support her application. She admires Pinker. Neither her nor Mike are fans or Chomsky.
