地道美語聽力播客:At the Convention Center
I left my hotel early so I would arrive at the convention center in time for my presentation , but the bad traffic made me late. My presentation was supposed to start at 2:00 and it was already 1:55! To make matters worse , I had never been to this convention center before and I didn’t know my way around .
I walked into the foyer and looked around. I was hoping to see a registration booth or thespeakers’ room , where I was sure someone could point me in the right direction . I walked down one hallway and found the main ballroom , but it was empty. I saw a sign for meeting rooms upstairs and went up the escalator . But when I got to the second floor, I didn’t see anyone around. I looked over the landing , hoping to get my bearings , but that was no help. By this time, I was sweating bullets . The clock was ticking and I was late!
Then, I woke up. It wasn’t the first time I had a nightmare like this, and I knew it wouldn’t be the last. I wonder what my subconscious is trying to tell me? At least this time, I was wearing my pants!
