MIKE: Hey Daniel, do you want to see my holiday photos? Beautiful, aren’t they? DANIEL: Maybe later? MIKE: Nonsense! I’ve got loads to show you! Have you ever had a vacation in Hawaii? DANIEL: No. I like to have my vacations in Melbourne, Australia. MIKE: You’re not serious, are you? What could beat putting an esky and a couple of boogie boards in the boot of the car and heading down to the beach? DANIEL: Well the trunk of my car is too small to fit anything like a boogie board in it! MIKE: Daniel, what a barrel of laughs you are! What’s there to do in Melbourne? DANIEL: Well I have to disagree with you on that one. There’s so much independent theatre to see; so many museums to visit; so many kinds of food to taste… MIKE: But it’s always so cold! There’s just so much to do in Hawaii. DANIEL: But what about the aroma of freshly ground coffee? MIKE: You mean you spend your entire holidays in coffee shops? DANIEL: No! I go and see the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra; I go to the theatre; I visit some of the art galleries… MIKE: That sounds so boring! My idea of a holiday is a combination of fun and relaxation!DANIEL: Well my idea of relaxing is very different to yours. But Mike, can I make a suggestion? MIKE: What did you have in mind? DANIEL: Well, why don’t we show one another exactly what we’re missing out on? MIKE: How? DANIEL: Well, our Christmas vacations are coming up next month. How about for the first week, you show me the delights of Hawaii and for the second, I’ll show you what Melbourne has to offer? MIKE: I’m not sure if I want to cut my beach holiday short! DANIEL: Come on! Variety is the spice of life! MIKE: Well, I’ll think about it. But I have to tell you, swimming is healthier than sitting in cafes. DANIEL: Maybe, but sitting in theatres is safer than lying on the beach getting sunburnt! MIKE: Fair enough! See ya! DANIEL: See you.

Mark: Hey Mike! Guess what!!Mike: Today's square-root day!Mark: Uhm... what the heck is that?Mike: Today is 3/3/09. Three times three is nine. Get it?Mark: Ohh... haha, you math nerd.Mike: Haha, learn to appreciate it. It only comes nine times a century. Seven years until the next one comes around: 4/4/16. Start counting down!Mark: Psht... dude, you're crazy. If you don't get into that school that you applied to, I don't know who will. All you ever think about is math.Mike: Well, MIT is a pretty tough school (ha. total understatement :P). Anyway, admissions there is crazy, especially this year.Mark: Really? Well, sucks to be you then. But come on, college isn't a destination in life. It's merely a means to a destination.Mike: Yea, that's true. But you're so lucky that you already got into the University of Chicago this early. The next four years is already set for you while my college decisions are still up in the air.Mark: Well, even if you don't get into MIT, you have that University of Toronto as back-up.Mike: Ugh.. you know I don't want to go to Canada. My parents only want me to go because it's cheaper.Mark: Well I still don't understand why you don't want to go there. You're the one who told me that it's ranked number one in Canada. If you ask me, that's pretty good.Mike: Yea, ok, but I've never actually lived there, and half the people there'll probably speak French all the time.Mark: ::sigh:: You're hopeless. You better get into MIT... I don't know how I'm going to survive if you don't.Mike: You? You mean me, right?Mark: No. I mean me. I wouldn't want you moping over at my house every day and pigging out on my food if you don't get in xDMike: Just because you said that, I'm coming over today after school to eat you out of room and board :PMark: Haha, whatever. I gotta get to class.Mike: Ok, see you later! Oh yea, pi-day party at my house next Saturday?Mark: Of course, how could I forget with a friend like you.
