| Angela: I’m in big trouble. Trisha: What’s up? Angela: I have a big chemistry test tomorrow, but I haven’t studied at all. I guess I have to stay up all night and cram for the test tomorrow. Trisha: Why didn’t you start studying earlier? I’m sure you knew about it. Angela: I’ve known about it for a long time. I just kept putting it off. Trisha: Well, that was a mistake, but there is nothing you can do about it now. Your only choice is to cram for the test all day and hope for the best. Angela: I know. Trisha: Call me after you finish the test tomorrow and let me know how it went. Angela: I will. I better go get some coffee now. It’s going to be a long night. | |
