Anticipating the Reading

Skim the excerpt from the passage. Who do you think the speaker is?



Week 1

—OK, I don't know how they expect me to live in a 5 x 9 cell with another person. I don't even have room for my TV and Playstation.

—Woke up this morning, and yesterday morning, and the morning before with a hangover. I feel like all I do is eat, drink, sleep, eat, drink, sleep…When do people do work around here?

—I think I'm finally learning my way around this place. I now know how to get to: the cafeteria, the gym, all the frat houses, the four buildings where my classes are, the one bar that doesn't card and …the what? The library?

—Hmmm. My roommate seems to keep different hours from me as I haven't even seen him yet. I know he exists, though, because girls keep calling and asking for him.
