Fun English Lessons

Your mom does it, your dad does it, all your friends do it.  Everyone stop procrastinating!  Today we talk about putting things off.

Dialogue

We listen to Andrews story about not doing anything.

Andrew	Today I woke up at 9:20 but lay in bed until about 11:30.
	I wasn’t sleeping, nor was I relaxing.
	I wasn’t really thinking of anything in particular either.
	I was in a daze.
	I finally got out of bed and started walking aimlessly around the house.
	Instead of doing anything reasonable, I decided to feel a bit guilty about getting up so late and wasting the morning in bed.
	I was just about ready to go to the gym when for some reason I decided to log on to msn messenger and start up a few useless conversations.
	An hour flew by and it was now almost 1:00.
	I’d had it.
	I was sick of all the procrastinating.
	I got off msn, grabbed a protein shake and headed off to the gym.
