Feeling Restless and Jumpy
Adam: Sit still and stop bouncing your leg like that!
Ellen: Sorry, I didn’t realize I was doing it. I’m just a little jittery 1.
Adam: Well, try to chill out. We’re supposed to be studying and your restlessness is distracting.
Ellen: I can’t help it. I’m like this because I had a lot of coffee. That’s the only way I can do an all-nighter.
Adam: But how can you study when you’re fidgeting all the time? Stop tapping your pen on the table!
Ellen: Sorry. It’s either I’m worked up or I fall asleep, and tomorrow’s test is a make-or-break one for me. I’ve got to do well.
Adam: I don’t see how you can get any studying done when you’re strung out on caffeine. You’re so jumpy and I think you’re starting to twitch 2. Why don’t you try to counteract 3 the caffeine by drinking lots of water?
Ellen: Do you know how long it took me to get this keyed up? I’m not doing anything to reduce the effects.
Adam: Fine.
Ellen: Hey, where are you going?
Adam: Anywhere but here!
