[00:23.72]Haven't seen you for years.What have you been up to?
[00:29.62]I heard you went to work right after you graduated from high school.
[00:35.71]Simon:That's right.I work for an insurance company--
[00:40.62]I'm district manager,to be exact.
[00:44.72]I'm in charge of sales for the whole region.
[00:49.01]I make sure all the new policies are in order,
[00:53.39]and train new salespeople as well.Anna:You must be busy.
[00:59.38]Simon:I am.I work so hard during the week
[01:04.37]that I never feel like doing anything on the weekends.
[01:08.86]How's your life?Anna:I'm a senior at Stanford University.
[01:15.08]Simon:I envy you.Students have an easy life!Anna:What?We do not!
[01:22.08]I have three term papers to turn in this week--
[01:27.07]and that's in addition to a lot of other homework.
[01:32.16]Sometimes I study all night just to keep up with my courses.

[01:53.14]I'm at school from 8 in the morning until 8 at night,
