class, do you have the second to talk about it now?
Professor: oh yes no problem, i have about twenty minutes before my next
class. will that be enough time?
Student: Yeah i think so, Okay. So the thing is you know I’m writing my paper
on the history of jazz in new York city
Professor: Alright. Well, that's a pretty broad subject
Student: well actually I’m focusing on a specific decade the fifty's and on and
I’m only doing it on a few specific artists
Professor: OH, Okay. because i was going to say that seemed a bit too
ambitious for a ten-page paper
Student: Yeah. No, it’s not the subject I’m having trouble with. Actually, the
paper is practically writing itself I mean I’ve got a lot to say and it's going pretty
well. the thing is I have this idea that I make it better and I was wondering if
there's any way I could get an extension I mean I know it's due next week right

Professor: That’s right, on Monday. but I don't understand it sounds like you're
doing so well. Why do you need more time?
Student: Uhm, yeah, well. i could write the paper as is and turn it it on time
and it would be fine
Professor: But
Student: But I was just talking to one of my friends whose family has lived in
New York for ever and it turns out that her grandfather was actually there in
the period of jazz I’m writing about. I mean he was a jazz musician and he
actually, like, personally knew the artist I’m writing about
Professor: You’re kidding? well that’s a coincidence
