Dorian: Oh no! Not again! Susan: Are you ok, Dorian? Dorian: No, Im not. It seems I wont sleep again. Susan: Why? Dorian: I should have done this report two weeks ago. I thought it was going to be easy, but unfortunately I also have other assignments for the same date. Susan: Take it easy! Dont stress. The first thing you can do is relax and organize your assignments from the most to the least important. Work on the most important first, then go for a walk and when you come back home take a shower. Return to your work and drink some tea, it will make you feel good! Dorian: Oh thank you Susan, I will do that.
