xxx espera .
tengo una cosa chiquitica .
y tengo una cosa que tengo que hacer en la computadora .
qué más ?
creo que es todo .
ah bueno pero fin de semana so you can take your time .
xxx tengo tres días .
xxx limpiar mi cuarto este fin de semana .
voy a limpiarlo bien bien xxx recoger todo organizar todo .
that's good .
no it isn't .
sí porque tú eres bien organizado .
no I'm not .
yeah you are .
I just have a habit of not putting things where they go .
mmhm .
.
y cómo te está yendo el xxx ?
xxx o no ?
ah no sé todavía de lo que espera que contraten a más personas en el To_Go .
y eso cuánto se xxx .
well I have to train them .
so
you have to train them ?
yeah .
so
hasta ahora no se han contratado a nadie .
pero cuando los um contraten me toca entrenarlos .
and we have to see if they get good at it .
they're actually trying to like succeed in the job .
y ya después me imagino que un mes o algo .
ya me puedo mover el server .
pero por ahora estoy en el To_Go .
.
so yeah .
well there should be a lot of people that wanna work in To_Go .
huh ?
well there should be a lot of people that need work .
well I don't know .
they haven't hired anybody yet .
so I'm just waiting .
how old do you have to be to work there ?
can't Alberto work there ?
he's sixteen .
no you have to be eighteen to work in Chili's .
that sucks .
yeah .
no it doesn't .
because xxx if you do it with kids you have to work around their school hours .
yeah but like over the summer like a summer job .
and
maybe .
well yeah maybe we get people in the summer .
but for now we don't have anybody .
and they don't hire under sixteen .
and if they were to hire
xxx under what eighteen or sixteen ?
uh under eighteen .
but if they hired someone like sixteen they can only work certain amount of hours .
and they can't work before six .
they can't work after eleven .
so I don't know if they're gonna hire younger kids in the summer .
but I think they're not supposed to .
I think the law says that we're not supposed to .
then how come Publix hires xxx .
well because
you only have to be fourteen to work at Publix ?
I know but the only job they give you is to bag groceries which is not hard .
so I think
yeah you have to know where to put the eggs and then the all the bread and that kind of stuff .
yeah but that's not hard .
I think it must be hard .
no it's not .
y um el jueves I have um a trainer meeting .
which is ?
a meeting where trainers go .
and we talk about progress .
and
that must suck .
no it doesn't .
(be)cause no te acuerdas ?
the first time we went to we went to like Dave_and_Busters I think .
and then the second time
lucky .
+, we went to Maggianos .
what happened to discussing progress ?
we did .
and then they gave us food .
and now we're going to Dave_and_busters again .
lucky .
yeah on Thursday .
but how many people are trainers ?
a lot .
like twenty .
o es que hay como there's like about four or five cooks that are trainers .
there's
.
there's like in To_Gos there's only two .
but I think that I'm the only one that's going .
and servers there's like ten servers .
ten about ten servers that are
and what do trainers do ?
+, trainers .
train .
show other people how the job works .
then why'd you put you as a trainer ?
very funny .
yeah I know you're good at that .
but uh what I'm saying is that why'd they pick you out of everyone that there is ?
+ (be)cause they see that I'm the one <that has that knows how to do it .
that knows the job better than others .
that can explain it to others .
ok .
uh that's the thing that gets you the discount that trainer card thing on the back that says discount ?
yeah .
oh cool .
so that's an advantage .
pero
it's good to be a trainer .
(be)cause you help you're helping your workplace by showing new people .
get it ?
that's the whole point .
yeah .
so yeah I have a meeting that day .
ok .
y la universidad cómo te va ?
uh bien .
on Monday I have a midterm (..) of art appreciation that class .
they give you midterms ?
oh I had a midterm .
I did I had I I have a midterm I had midterms .
I did good .
xxx .
I have I only have for that class .
I don't have a midterm for English .
you have finals ?
yeah I have finals .
I have to take an exit exam in in English class .
like in order to pass it I have to pass the class and I have to pass that that exam to go on to English um eleven O one yeah .
eleven O isn't it one O one ?
no .
eleven O ok .
.
yeah so that .
and (..) uh (..) in math not doing to well yeah .
got third
I'm taking seventh grade math .
actually ninth .
it's not seventh grade .
it's ninth grade actually .
but I'm gonna take it next year .
look I'm two years advanced .
well I'm not doing bad .
it's just I struggle with some parts of the math .
but it's not really hard .
which are ?
multiplication addition subtraction [=! laughs] ?
no .
that's the easy part .
division ?
it's like the problems .
.
you know like the ones where it says if this this object has a height of this and it has a uh width of this so what is the area or something like that .
that's not that hard .
well it confuses me .
so I had kinda struggled on the problem ones .
oh yeah that always happens to me .
I I just can't put uh I don't I'm good at math I'm good with the math .
I just can't do the English part of the math .
English part of the math ?
well like the reading and the English and that stuff .
ok .
yeah so uh I think I have like a B or a C in that class right now .
but hopefully I can get my grades up .
that's what I have in math .
I have either a B_minus or a C_plus .
yeah (be)cause apparently everybody says that in architecture there's a lot of math .
yeah .
you have to like measure the lines and all that stuff .
yeah so I don't think I'll have problems .
that's just people over exaggerate .
I think .
we'll see .
I don't think I have that much math .
but I don't know .
it depends when I transfer .
we'll see .
do you know when you're planning to transfer ?
no huh .
probably hopefully next year .
five years .
next year ?
if I
well I don't think so .
but like maybe end of next year I'll finish in B_C_C .
and then I'll start the winter in F_I_U if possible .
but we'll see .
ok .
yeah .
so cómo estás con las novias ?
?
qué [=! laughs] ?
do I have to answer that ?
uh yeah .
I'd rather not .
ok you don't have to .
.
you don't have to tell me if you like anybody .
you just have to tell me que como te va .
bien .
.
bien te va bien [=! laughs] ?
.
.
: funny .
oh .
mm .
yeah so is there any movie you wanna see that's coming up ?
um (..) mm
no ?
thinking thinking thinking .
Meet_the_spartans .
but you don't want to see that .
no .
that movies looks hilarious .
well I do too .
it wasn't in theatres when I went the other day .
really ?
I didn't see it .
no they probably already took it out .
yeah .
I wanna see one that's called Stop_loss .
which is about what ?
it's a movie about these um guys that are in the that are in the army .
and so they were in Iraq for I dunno I guess couple years or months or something .
and then they come back to Texas .
(be)cause that's where they're from I guess .
and so they're ready to get out of the army .
and (be)cause they did their duty and everything .
and then the army says that they're going back .
(be)cause they don't
oh yeah I've heard about that one .
yeah .
+, they don't have enough people to fight the war over there .
so they're sending them back .
so that's what I think stop loss means .
that's dumb .
and so like it's a battle deciding if they're going to do it or not .
and it looks pretty cool .
plus it has cute guys in it .
yes .
so yeah .
since I love going to movies with cute guys .
that's a plus .
so we'll see if hmm yeah .
we'll see if I go see that movie .
if we go see that movie (be)cause it looks cool .
yeah when I get ungrounded in two months .
ok maybe not with you .
.
but maybe I'll go see it or something .
.
xxx qué cuentas ?
ah nada más .
nothing new here .
I applied for a credit card .
what ?
I applied for a credit card .
don't you already have like xxx .
no credit cards .
what's the difference ?
debit card is like they pay it out of your they take the money out of your bank account .
yeah .
and credit is that ah you have to pay for everything .
you get a bill of the things you paid with your credit card .
and then you have to pay them off .
so
why isn't debit better ?
you don't have to worry about bills .
well
you just have to worry about losing all your money .
well it really depends .
like I think it depends on what you're paying .
(be)cause if it's a large sum and they take it out of your bank account (..) and then you have other stuff to pay then you're gonna be short in money .
so if you do credit card they give you a certain time for you to pay them off .
so you don't have to (..) you know pay them on the spot .
oh .
so yeah .
.
y qué pasó con Adrian ?
what about him ?
te siguen hablando o no ?
yeah sometimes .
but he doesn't hang out with you guys ?
yeah sometimes .
but he gets annoying .

and aside from us he has like no friends at all .
um
oh David David's yeah David's my friend .
and I have another friend named Adam .
he no he's mostly David's friend .
but
sometimes mine .
I sometimes talk to him I mean .
I don't know .
we'll see .
mmhm .
so tu colegio it's just a middle school or is it middle school and high school like in the same building ?
in the same building it's middle .
but like right next to us is the elementary .
and then there's like a preschool there .
and then the high school is all the way xxx near
not not xxx wait .
somewhere near the library .
wherever that is .
so
oh it's over there by the library ?
yeah the one next to F_i_u and the library .
so tu colegio hasta qué grado va ?
twelfth .
no pero the building like to what grade does it go to ?
eighth .
eighth grade y después te vas a pasar allá a Sheridan ?
yeah .
hmm .
yeah but it'll be the same people .
the only difference is that for eleme(ntary) for elementary there are three different campuses the west campus east campus and F_s_u campus .
east campus moves to central campus .
middle at west .
and F_s_u go together and move to west campus middle right ?
and then west
which is where you are ?
yeah .
west campus middle and the east and east camp(us) and no and central campus middle move together to
what's it called ?
the only high the big high the high the big high school .
right ?
mmhm .
but like I'll still be with the same people .
it's just like each time we keep adding more and more .
so um what classes do you think you're gonna take next year ?
next year I'm taking algebra for math which is a ninth grade class .
um (..) I'm taking let's see for language arts what am I taking ?
I think I'm I'm taking advanced language arts which is eighth grade class because advanced is a year advanced at my school .
um (..) I'm taking advanced science probably .
um (..) I'm not I don't have to take reading .
because if I get a four or a five on the F_Cat um I don't have to take reading .
because in seventh grade in eighth grade I mean you don't have to take reading right ?
and right there right here um right now I'm taking seventh grade reading .
so and next xxx be taking eighth grade right ?
so and since in eighth grade I don't have to take anything I get an extra elective .
so what are you gonna do ?
don't say P_e .
why I'm taking P_e .
you don't even like it .
you say it tires you too much .
yeah I do .
no I never said that .
what other elective is there ?
um I'm gonna take P_e and I don't know .
what other elective is there ?
there's band which I'm never gonna join .
um art which everyone hates the teacher .
Spanish I speak Spanish already .
um (.)
so you wouldn't take art class just because you don't like the teacher ?
do you even know the teacher ?
yeah .
it's the same one for every elective ?
for every art elective .
well I think you should take that class .
yeah I might take art .
or and P_e .
I think art is better .
because
I'll take art and P_e .
but if I if I could only pick one of them I'll pick P_e .
no .
why don't why don't you want me to take P_e ?
(be)cause you said you didn't even like it .
I never said that .
I said uh
so does everybody have to take P_e or
no I I wanna take P_e .
well how come um Marissa took P_e ?
does she like it ?
no she she weighs like two tons .
so you know what she did ?
the first day she feinted in P_e .
so why'd she take it ?
she didn't want to .
but she had to because um (..) um yeah she was taking wheel which is one quarter P_e one quarter research one quarter of computers and one quarter of art .
um and she had that .
and with the quarter P_e she had her first quarter she feinted .
on the first day she feinted like five times .
pretended then ?
what ?
pretended ?
no she actually feinted .
how can you feint five times ?
like not on the same day .
but like the first day he put us to run for some reason like a lot .
we had to run like two miles the first day .
and we she she collapsed like she just collapsed was on the floor .
I think twice in the same day both .
she like collapsed a few times until she finally realized that she'll get an F if she doesn't if she keeps on like feinting in the middle of class .
uhuh .

four seventeen .
I go to work at five thirty today .

and then send it to the tables .
but have to do it like every ticket has to be under fifteen .
and has to be cooked properly the way they want it with dressings they ask for it .
so if it if it's like bad you get blamed for it ?
if the people didn't like how it was cooked or how it was made or if it was missing something they just send it back .
and we'll fix it for them .
and meanwhile manager goes and talks to them .
and tells them 
+" oh we'll fix it for you .
and like apologizes .
and makes sure that the customer is satisfied .
so yeah .
hmm .
that it it's way fun that To_Gos .
To_Go I don't wanna do To_Go any_more .
why don't you get tips at To_Go ?
so I get I would get tips as server .
I would get triple .
what to get on a Friday night .
yeah I know .
but you'd also
yup yeah but you also get tips
um what's it called ?
ah at To_Go you don't gotta Q_a ?
well I get paid more in Q_a .
so
you do ?
how much an hour ?
yeah .
I get paid eight for To_Go .
and I get paid ten for Q_a .
yeah but how much tips do you make in like a day in To_Go ?
like thirty five maybe .
yeah thirty five and xxx .
if it's a good night .
if it's a good night around thirty five dollars .
yeah but you you make
but not always .
it's not consistent .
you make like ten dollars more in in To_Go per day right ?
huh ?
you you will make like ten dollars more a day in To_Go ?
maybe .
but I don't always do Q_a .
I asked yesterday .
I went in at four .
but I had to work at six .
so I didn't know .
I thought it was at four o'clock .
so I was two hours early .
so I was like
you're always like five minutes late .
and and you and you go like two hours early ?
well I didn't know .
I didn't know it was uh (un)til six .
how about checking the schedule ?
so yesterday I um did a Starbucks run .
I went to go get coffee for everybody .
and then when I came back I started helping out one of the managers .
and I was doing prep work which is like you know making the sauces and cooking the meat and cutting it up into pieces and stuff like that .
isn't that what the what the chef's do ?
the cutting the ?
yeah .
but managers do that too .
so I started helping him .
and then I started to ask him questions about how much they get paid and stuff .
and he says they get paid like like a thousand like eleven hundred around there um every two weeks .
so I mean for my age that's not bad .
if I can get a manager position .
yeah but you I don't really think
where are you gonna get a manager position ?
they could start training me .
and then eventually just tell corporate that they're training me .
manager of what ?
To_Go general manager ?
well no .
I mean if they really train me as manager I'm probably not gonna stay at that store .
(be)cause they're always moving the managers to other to other restaurants .
I mean to other stores of Chili's .
other Chili's ?
other Chili's yeah ?
they call them stores instead of restaurants .
(be)cause they're all restaurants .
that's xxx .
but they're different place .
they're they're located different places .
so they could move me which is not what I really want .
but if they're paying .
ok well if if they're paying I mean for that amount it doesn't sound bad to me .
ok .
so I mine as well take the opportunity if they offer .
yeah but well like probably where would you get moved to ?
I don't know .
it's not up to me or them .
it's up to the corporate um place .
so
what's the corporate place ?
it's like where they decide things about Chili's like the stuff on the menu like uh
I don't know .
+, stuff they wanna change in each store .
stuff like that .
I don't know .
yeah so I don't know .
we'll see .
but or or I might actually quit Chili's .
yeah but where would you go to work ?
I was talking to your mom the other day .
I might like look for a job at um
B_c_c ?
ah what's it called ?
yeah B_c_c .
like there's this department called
the find what department ?
there's this department called something department of visual arts and something else .
and uh (..) I might see if they have anything over there .
so we'll see .
I don't know .
but you know .
we'll see .
yeah I met get a job there or I was thinking maybe in the summer to work less or
why work less in the summer xxx ?
because um
aren't you supposed to work more in the summer ?
no .
I wanna work less (be)cause I wanna get into dance .
I wanna do I wanna get into dance classes .
.
I don't care what you think xxx .
it's not up to you .
wait what type of dance classes ?
it's up to me .
like ballet dancing that you stand on your toes and then your toes start bleeding ?
no like modern .

like hip_hopish popish .
I don't know .
something will come up .
but I have to see .
I think I get the other day I saw like there's a place in Silver_lakes .
but I don't know .
it looked like for young kids .
so I don't know .
I have to look for a place where where to go .
but maybe we'll see .
yeah but it wouldn't be like every single day .
it would probably be like twice a week .
no it wouldn't .
it would be like in the morning so .
but but then I'm gonna take two classes in the summer .
I'm gonna take reading and English .
so
I wanna focus on class and dancing not so much on work .
(be)cause I'm working forty hours right now .
I don't I don't need to work that much .
I mean I don't hardly pay anything .
so I want my summer like to relax .
and to do something knew .

yeah sorta .
y tú no te vas a meter en nada ?
no sé .
quiero hacer algún deporte .
pero no sé cuál .
you wanna do deporte ?

but uh I don't think so either .
what else .
ah
pingpong's a sport .
you could play that .
I meant something that like involves running or something like that .
well ok if you get into sport it involves you actually training and practicing .
and you're not really that type of person .
why not ?
(be)cause based on experience I've seen that you want to do something .
but you don't want to like practice .

you don't like to
what experience ?
+, practice and see if you're in
