[Music] a new classmate

hi there are you the new girl yes hello i'm may

i'm josh and miss berger said to show you around

so where are you from i'm from brighton england

i thought i heard an accent is this your first time going to an

american school yes my family just moved here last month

for my mum's job well welcome

thank you so what was your old school like is this

place any different very i can't believe you don't have to

wear school uniforms it was so hard for me to pick out what

to wear today oh man you had to wear uniforms over

there even in public high school

we have to wear uniforms in all schools and in all grades well except for

college well yeah i figured not college you're

an adult by then actually we don't even call it high

school we just have primary school and then secondary school

english kids go to college at 16 so i don't know if i'd call them adults

oh wow that is totally different from an american school

we have elementary school for grades one through six then middle school for two

years and then high school for four [Music]

we can't go to college until we're 18 here

how strange well even though i wouldn't want

to wear the uniform i'd rather go to an english school just so i could get out

of there sooner i don't know

i think i like american schools better you have so much time off in the

summer what do you mean in england we'd have five terms a year

so our summer holiday was only a few weeks in august

[Music] for real

i would hate that never mind i wouldn't want to give up summer break

yeah i don't blame you [Music]

an embarrassing situation [Music]

how was the office party last night amber

don't mention it it was embarrassing to say the least

i messed up big time how's that

first of all i couldn't find the venue so i showed up an hour and a half late

[Music] i think i made a terrible impression

because of that i'm new to the company so i felt pretty

awkward and lonely i'd been at the company for only a few

days i see but didn't you try to approach

your colleagues to get to know them well i started talking to someone whom i

found really arrogant and annoying so i escaped quickly and started talking

to nancy who i sit next to at work i was complaining about the man i'd been

talking to and noticed she had gone very quiet

then she suddenly said oh he's my husband

my jaw dropped open when i heard that i just made a fool of myself

oh no how embarrassing that's right it was really embarrassing

i made such a blunder the last straw was when i found out that

he was also a director of the company good grief

well how were you supposed to know maybe she'll turn a blind eye on it

since you're new to the company and didn't know anyone

fat chance she barely spoke to me today well let's not make a mountain out of a

molehill don't be too hard on yourself

you messed up but she will finally forget about it

you can't change the past but you can try to do better in the future

time solves everything you look so tired paul

that's because i get up at 5 30 am every morning to take the bus

my boss is giving me too much work she is never pleased with how much i

work have you talked to her about this

i tried to but she wouldn't understand it's probably because she has problems

at home but that doesn't give her the right to

take it all out on me does it of course not

i've been in this profession for six years now

i always found it boring but it paid well

[Music] i don't see myself being in this career

for longer than another six months i'm already training for a new career

but it will mean a drastic pay cut i guess you can't have your cake and eat

it too right that's right i prefer to have less money

but more time for myself and how is everything with your new

roommate do you get along with him not exactly

it seems he doesn't have a clue about how to keep the house clean

he doesn't lift a finger to help me last night i spent two hours cleaning

the kitchen while he pigged out on pizza and watched

tv i'm sick and tired of his behavior

but that's not the worst as if that weren't enough

laura dumped me because she's tired of our long distance relationship

never thought my four years relationship will go down the drain like this

i just feel like i'm losing it chill out everything is going to be all

right be patient

time solves everything breaking up with laura is actually a

good thing because she has never really appreciated you

you'll be better off without her you deserve to be loved and respected

thanks sis you know i already feel much better

you really know how to cheer me up i care about you after all you are my

brother i know i can count on you too for good

advice from time to time you're grounded

[Music] hello

you know your mother and i are trusting you to stay home alone while we are on

vacation i know i know

um well in the morning i clean the pool maybe you called me while i was outside

it was dirty again and i wanted it to look nice for when you come home

uh what did you do after that

i listened to some music maybe that's when you called

and i just didn't hear the phone ringing i called your cell phone first you

pool while i was cleaning it oh okay

[Music] mother's birthday

[Music] it's your mother's birthday on sunday

and it's her 50th birthday that's a big one we have to make it

special what should we get for her

i have no idea she is so hard to buy for oh i know remember last christmas

of course i do she says she wants a sweater so we get

her a sweater but it wasn't the right size color or

brand yeah we're never getting her clothes as

a gift again what about getting her something we know

she needs no way

remember when she said she needed new knives so we got her a new knife set for

mother's day last year oh yeah she complained and complained

about that like we were implying she needed to cook more

[Music] or what about last year's birthday gift

a gift card to her favorite restaurant yup she said it wasn't personal enough

we only have four days to find the right gift this is a nightmare

no shopping for your mother's birthday is a nightmare this is just a disaster

you're right about that your mom is hard to shop for but my mom is impossible

my life is over hey honey

ugh what's wrong

leave me alone i don't want to talk about it

what happened something at school yes you have no idea

talk to me i've had a bad day before not like this this was the worst

seriously my life is over come on tell me what happened it's only

the first week fine but there's nothing you can do to

fix it try me

it's tonya she dropped biology

okay can't you see what a disaster this is

um no

if she doesn't take biology then we're not in lab together

oh um okay ugh

i knew you wouldn't understand don't you have other friends in lab

no none of the other girls are in the class

if tanya isn't in lab either then i don't have a partner

i'm sorry sweetheart i'll have to do all the lab experiments

and the term project alone is there no other classmate for you to

be partners with no there's an even number in the class

i'll be the odd one out i see

and tonya always gave me a ride to practice school

but if we're not in last period together anymore i don't think she will

well maybe i know i'll switch biology for a study

hall and just take it next year thanks for your help mom you're the best

oh um okay you're welcome

schedule well it was that our history with mr
