The narrator promises to keep an eye on him for the rest of the year. He thinks it's pretty funny that people spend so much time in their studies, but they don't do anything to improve their skills or improve their self-esteem. He also thinks that people who love romance and who work hard at their studies are more likely to be happy than people who are sad and depressed. He's not sure if he's right or not, but he does know that he wants to stay with him for as long as he can.
