[originaltext]W: Uh, Dad, are you going to miss me (23)when I leave for college

W: Uh, Dad, are you going to miss me (23)when I leave for college next week?
M: Of course I will. And you’ve really tried to prepare yourself. You know, I’m proud of you for that. (23) Getting a university degree is a real accomplishment.
W: Exactly.
M: But, let’s go over the to-do list. Do you have everything ready? I mean, did you pay your tuition and housing fees by the deadline? Because, you know, (24)if you don’t, you’ll lose your class schedule, and you have to register all over again.
W: Yeah, I paid for that a few days ago.
M: Okay. And you know you should set up an appointment to meet with your academic advisor to help you select future classes. Business administration will be a great major for you.
W: But, Dad, I changed my major.
M: What? You changed you major! You switched majors! ?
W: Yeah, I really thought about it. After talking it over with Mom, I’ve decided to major in wildlife science.
M: What are you talking about?
W: Yeah, (25)I want a degree in wildlife science. You know, analyzing, maintaining, and conserving national forests and wildlife.
M: What?
W: Dad, I’ve ALWAYS been interested in working with nature, you know that, and this field will give me the opportunity to live out my dream. I’ve also looked through the online university catalog, and I actually qualify for a two-year, full tuition scholarship.
