PROBLEM: W: Hi, Kevin. How is it going? M: Ah, not so great. W: What's wrong? M: I've got a big problem with the Shakespeare course which is required for my major. W: Is that all filled up? M: No, there's plenty of room, but I have to take the starter course before I can take Professor Miller's Shakespeare course. It is only offered in the evening. W: You don't like evening classes? M: That's not the point. I work in the cafe every evening. I need the money to pay my tuition. W: You can ask someone that could switch hours with you. Maybe just switch a couple of evenings since the course probably only meets two times a week. M: I wish I could. My boss just did me a favor by putting me on evenings. And he'll hit the ceiling if I ask to change again. W: Wait a minute. I have an idea. Have you checked the course over at the community college? They might offer an introductory course during the day. M: That's a great idea. I'm free this afternoon. I'll go over and check it out. W: Their courses are actually cheaper.
