Managing Life

Lesson A

Making plans

1. Getting started

A. Listen. Stacy is talking to her friend Brandon. When do they decide to meet? Can you guess what they’re going to do?

Hello?

Oh, hi, Brandon. How are you?

Good, really good… No, it’s OK. I’m on my way home.

What am I doing tomorrow night? Actually, I don’t think I’m doing anything…

Oh, wait. Tomorrow’s Tuesday. I have my aerobics class. That starts at 7:00, and then I’m meeting Anna afterwards. We’re going to have dinner together. But, yeah, I’d love to catch up with you. How about Wednesday night?

Huh. So you’re going to be out of town for a couple of days,… but you’ll be back Friday, right? So what about Friday?

Uh-oh. I just remembered. My boss is going to have us all work late Friday. She mentioned it last week. We have this big deadline.

Yeah, yeah. We won’t be finished on time. It’s a long story. Uh, I’ll tell you about it sometime.

Tonight? Actually, I’m not doing anything!

That’s a fabulous idea. I’ll just stop by my apartment to change cloths, and then I’ll come right over to meet you. I can get there by 7:30. And I’ll call for a reservation.

Great. So, see you in about an hour. Bye.
