Weird Butterfly Ceremony

課文：

Rachel：When I try to stay up late, I fall asleep while I’m working. I usually feel so tired that I can’t concentrate. I’m more productive when I’m well-rested.

Sarah：But what if you don’t get up early enough to finish something? Then you have to skip class or not finish the assignment.

Rachel：I never save assignments until the last minute, so I make sure I have enough time. When I know I have to go to class, I go. And having gotten something done prior to class makes me feel better all day.

Sarah：I just feel safer working on assignments in the evening. Then I know I can take as long as I need to finish them.

Rachel：Doesn’t that make it easier to procrastinate, though?

Sarah：Not really. I admit I put off doing homework sometimes, but that can happen just as easily in the morning, right?

Rachel：I suppose so.

Sarah：Staying up late is also good for social reasons. You know I sometimes talk with the girls in our dormitory until at night.

Rachel：Well, I’m glad staying up works for you, but I’m going to bed. Good luck with the essay.

Sarah：Thanks. Sleep well!
