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!
