Kate: I can't believe finals will be here in just two weeks. Once again, I'm not even close to being ready! You'd think that by now I'd learn how tp budget my time better.
Mary: welcome to the club! I was doing fine until after midterms. Then I took it easy. Now I'm paying for it. I have three research papers to finish in three weeks. Help!
Jason: you're not alone! I don't have any papers, but I have final exams and several books to finish before then. That's not counting all the review reading I'll have to do either.
K: all my friends are in the same boat. I'm going to have to pull quite a few all-nighters during the next couple of week.
M: me, too. In fact, (checking his watch), I really have to get going, you guys. I've got a hot date…
K: how can you have time for a date when you've got all that work to do?
M:…with the library.
J: oh, I see. Well, catch you later, Mary.
K: yeah, Mary. Call me on the weekend.
M: right. Anyway, see you guys later.
