Get a nap

Yesterday, I, Kevin, and Billy, my the other roommate, went to a restaurant with Kevin's friends. However, the place was crowded, and a service worker told us it took us two hours to eat foods. It was about 12 o'clock. We hoped to have a brunch immediately, so we decided to find another place. We reached the place, which had good smell and looked like clean tables. Friends I ordered a sandwich with coca-cola. We enjoyed it, and then we got on a subway to go each home. When we, Kevin, Billy, and I arrived our house, we felt foodcoma, so Kevin told me he was going to get a nap. I also wanted to get a short sleep. It was Saturday, so we could enjoy the time without any anxiety.

Optima and Gotham

Did you watch the debate?

What did you hear McCain and Obama say?

What did you notice about their speaking styles?

I am contemplating on if I should do my homework now, or not.

At the night, I and Kevin were talking about each other's homework. I was tired, so I wanted to go to sleep. However, I had to consider whether I can wake up in the early morning, or not. When I was pondering the correct expression about the situation, Kevin, my roommate, helped me. The sentence was 'I am contemplating on if I should do my homework now, or not.' And I searched the other synonyms such as ponder, reflect, and deliberate about contemplate.

I am going to abandon the sentences, 'I think, I believe'

In the evening, I ate the dinner in the kitchen, where we cooked, with Kevin, my roommate. Kevin is my best English tutor, because he is a native speaker and a kind person. He told me when I write essay or speak something, I don't need the sentences, 'I think, I believe'. Essay is personal writing, so I do not need to mention those again. If I want to use the sentences, I can speak when I compare my opinion with other opinions. So I don't need those any more, except for some situations.

I ran out of time.

Today, I was talking about what I had to do with my roommate, Kevin. I forgot that I wanted to buy Kimchi on the 32nd street, so I told Kevin I lost my opportunity to buy Kimchi. I thought the sentence was weird, but I did not know how I could express the situation. At that time, he taught me the sentence, I ran out of time. If I need to describe the same situation, I can use the simple sentence.
