OFFICIAL2 What is the woman's attitude toward participating in the poetry club?

[00:00.00]Narrator: Listen to a conversation between two students. [00:03.44]They are both studying to be English teachers.
[00:07.42]FEMALE STUDENT: Did you register already for your classes next semester?
[00:10.72]MALE STUDENT: Yes, I did.
[00:11.44]FEMALE STUDENT: What are you taking?
[00:12.68]MALE STUDENT: Um, contemporary literature, English style, um, a teaching seminar, and I still have to do my student teaching. [00:20.35]I'm gonna help teach a writing class at the junior high.
[00:23.05]FEMALE STUDENT: That's a heavy schedule!
[00:24.79]MALE STUDENT: Yeah, it'll be really busy, and I'm also taking a theory class. [00:28.92]I'm gonna have to quit my job in a couple of weeks, 'cause it'll be just too much.
[00:32.70]FEMALE STUDENT: Where do you work at?
[00:34.01]MALE STUDENT: Buster's Coffee Shop, but just till the end of the month. [00:37.05]What are you doing next semester?
[00:38.95]FEMALE STUDENT: Actually, a teaching seminar too. [00:40.89]And I'll have to start writing my thesis. [00:43.43]You know, I'm also going for my master's degree.
[00:45.83]MALE STUDENT: So, you're not writing any poetry, I imagine…
[00:48.67]FEMALE STUDENT: No. I was actually thinking about revising some of my poems and sending them in to places for publication.
[00:54.57]MALE STUDENT: Cool. You should. [00:55.91]Um, did you hear about that new poetry club—the "Poetry Kitchen"?
[01:00.68]FEMALE STUDENT: Yeah. No time.
[01:02.31]MALE STUDENT: It's fun. [01:02.92]It's Sunday night. [01:04.06]You don't do anything Sunday nights.
[01:05.53]FEMALE STUDENT: I do homework Sunday nights.
[01:07.47]MALE STUDENT: Well, it's only from 7:00 to 9:00.
[01:09.11]FEMALE STUDENT: Is it every Sunday?
[01:10.40]MALE STUDENT: Last Sunday of every month. [01:11.95]I don't know about this month, 'cause it's probably a little too close to, uh, Thanksgiving, so they might move it up. [01:18.75]I don't know what they're gonna do, but it's a good time. It's fun—some really impressive readings.
[01:23.91]FEMALE STUDENT: Who? From our class?
[01:25.51]MALE STUDENT: Some people from our class are reading. [01:27.44]A lot of them go, sometimes even the professor.
[01:29.69]FEMALE STUDENT: Really? I don't know if I'd want to read in front of her.
[01:33.11]MALE STUDENT: You wouldn't have to read—you can just watch. [01:35.55]I just watched the first time. But it's a good environment to read in, I think anyway.
[01:40.13]FEMALE STUDENT: I'd probably have to write something new, so maybe during the summer. I just can't now.
[01:45.49]MALE STUDENT: Yeah, it wouldn't be the same just reading old stuff. [01:48.93]Are you gonna do summer school?
[01:50.35]FEMALE STUDENT: Definitely. Otherwise I'll be short six credits: [01:53.11]I have no choice.
[01:54.31]MALE STUDENT: Yeah, me too. [01:55.30]This is the second summer.[01:56.31]I'll have to take classes. [01:57.67]Gotta go now. My Shakespeare class starts in twenty minutes.
