Represent the dialog for retrieving similar scenarios Speaker2: How's California? :)
Speaker1: So far so good! I went to my first science event at Berkeley yesterday!
Speaker2: Wow :D how was it?
Speaker1: 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...
Speaker2: I'm sure you will. Where are you staying?
Speaker1: Miracle Mile. by the Grove
Speaker2: Cool! How's that article coming along?
Speaker1: Oh, it's fine, I just need to obtain references for my masters application so I figured it might help...
Speaker2: I see. It's really great that you're so driven!
Speaker1: I try :)
Speaker2: So what are you gonna study?
Speaker1: Psychology next year, hopefully. I still need to find another professor to write me a recommendation though.
Speaker2: Well, I'm sure you will. I remember doing that neuroscience course with you, you were the favourite of all the lecturers :)
Speaker1: I guess... it's easy to be good when you're passionate about something. I'm actually planning to focus on cognitive psychology. 
Speaker2: Have you read "How the mind works" by Pinker?
Speaker1: 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...
Speaker2: and he's definitely less annoying than Chomsky!
Speaker1: That's true... Especially since Chomsky's gone so political
