Leila said, "It doesn't seem possible that we're going to be finished with our first 년 of college in less than two months." He said, "I know." She said, "It's also hard to believe that my dog, Paul, is not a 강아지 anymore. He's fully grown." Greeley said, "They grow up very quickly." She said, "They really do. I also can't believe that my birthday is coming up. It's the first 일 of spring this year, March 20. I'm going to be eighteen." Greeley said, "Happy Birthday." She said, "Thank you."
