M: Hi, Janet, you are so lucky to be done with your final exams and term papers. I still have two more finals to take?
W: Really?
M: Yeah, So what are you going to do this summer, anything special?
W: Well, actually yeah. My parents have always liked taking my sister and me to different places. You know, places with historical significance. I guess they wanted to reinforce the stuff we learned in school about history. Oh so where arc you going this summer?
M: Well, this summer it’s finally going to be Gettysburg.
W: Finally? You mean they never took you there yet? I mean Gettysburg is probably the most famous civil war site in the country. It’s only a couple of hours away. I think that would be one of the first places that they’ve taken you. I have been there a couple of times.
M: We were going to go about ten, well, no, it was exactly ten years ago, but I don’t know, something happened, I cannot remember what.
W: Something changed your plans?
M: Yeah, don’t ask me what it was, but we ended up not going anywhere that year. I hope that doesn’t happen again this year. I wrote a paper about Gettysburg last semester for a history class. I was talking about the political situation in the United States right after the battle at Gettysburg. So I’m eager to see the place.
