Lets learn together : Part 3 (naturally fluent)

LESSON 3: PROCRASTINATION

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.
