PREMEAU: Yeah, but it's not the same one.

WILDCAT: Oh, you guys aren't from Michigan?

PREMEAU: I am from Michigan, kind of.

WILDCAT: Really?

PREMEAU: Well, kind of.

WILDCAT: I'm from metro Detroit. Tell me more! Tell me more!

PREMEAU: Well, I go back there every Christmas.

WILDCAT: What part?

PREMEAU: Livonia area.

WILDCAT: Well I'm from Bloomfield Hills. We're a little north of where you visit. OK, back to important things. I woke up this morning, well afternoon, realizing we're only like, a week away from finals. Like at the Wildcat, we only have eight issues left. Is that scaring you as much as it scared me? I mean, are there any classes that you just didn't show up to or went in all hungover?

PREMEAU: Uh, no not really.

WILDCAT: So you're up to date on everything?

PREMEAU: I don't know.

WILDCAT: So are you kind of a que sera sera, whatever will be will be type of guy?

PREMEAU: (stares blankly)

WILDCAT: You're a straight A student aren't you?

PREMEAU: I wish I was an A student.

WILDCAT: I know. I hate those kids. I mean, where do they find the time to do well in school?

PREMEAU: He's a straight A student. (pointing at friend across table).

WILDCAT: Fine then! I'm not talking to him! Do you feel like you're overwhelmed at all with time ticking toward the end?

PREMEAU: Yeah, a little bit. Teachers are piling everything on now.

WILDCAT: I hate that too! You think you're going to get away with only a little work then your teachers all oh, here's some stupid book report. Don't they understand?

PREMEAU: I don't have book reports anymore.
