- FRIENDS: The person I am

A study group discusses a text book on how to focus on studying and not procrastinate


Student 1
If I follow what this book is saying, I will lose all my friends. I never miss a phone call, never… I spent a whole weekend with a friend before an exam on Monday, she knocked on my door. She was having a baby. Ah, it was an amazing! Yes…I am a procrastinator!

Student 2

I am a procrastinator too. People count on me, I always pick up the phone

- FRIENDS: The help I need

...


Student 1

I tried to meet you at school. Did you give up on graduating? Where have you been party girl?

Student 2

My sister had the baby and the aboriginal housing center got her a new place. About 300 for a full house in New Sudbury! So I had to get a new place for me

Student 1

But you moved last week…

Student 2

Oh… I went to the beach again

Student 1

Be aware that you can’t miss too much classes

Student 2

I told the teacher I was moving.

Student 1

Take care, he (the teacher) might kick you out

Student 2

I needed the ride. All my friends were going. Summer is almost over. The bus doesn’t go there, you know.

Student 1

Oh! The collective transportation in Canada is a shame for Canadians, a sin against environment. Most of the people drive cars, avoid giving rides because of insurance and when the city has a collective transportation...it is frustrating... stay 20 minutes to one hour at a bus stop! Better get a ride when you have one!

a) Instead of doing classwork, he searches the cop website

Student 1

...this computer is not meant nor to chat nor to watch the cop’s videos. Why don’t you go to the educational website instead?

Hi, did you manage to study on weekend?

No. I went to Manitoba Island. It was crazy, really crazy.

Cool. How was this fight?
