How does the man feel about the course?

W: You took an optional course this semester, didn’t you? How’s it going?
M: Terrible! It seems like the more the professor talks, the less I understand.
W: If I were you, I would take a different course. There are five optional courses, aren’t there?

M: It’s such a beautiful day. Why not sit out in the backyard for a while and enjoy it?
W: I’d love to. But there’s a lot of laundry to do.
