23
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: It's a pivotal year, and it's a year of I think,

24
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: going from being a kid to being like a young adult,

25
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 2: get a little bit of freedom, you get treated you know,

26
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: not so much as a kid. Well I did, at

27
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: least anyway, so it's quite an important year. And I thought, crikey,

28
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,520

29
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,320

31
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: it was a career's day, so I thought it was

32
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of people.

33
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't like a kids. You could go down two

34
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: paths and then they bring in someone.

35
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: Who's very successful pharmacist exactly got their life together, and

36
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:33,640

00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: Or you could be like her, bring in Lauren. Yep, yeah, no, what.

38
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:40,600

40
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: turned up and it was it's a really nice thing

41
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: to be asked to go back to school. And I

42
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,960

43
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: of nervous, like kids are pretty judgy, and I thought, anyway,

Speaker 2: Nope? No.

50
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:15,680

00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: purpose meaning, Oh.

52
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,520

54
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm going question? Great question, Lauren.
