EXPRESSING EMOTIONS vacations

Hey, how was your trip to the beach?    
It was terrible…   
What?  Really?    What went wrong?    
Everything!  First of all…  


Mistake --> Consequence --> Regret

Mistake:            
We really didn’t plan out our honeymoon schedule         
 I left my motion sickness pills at home
              

Consequence:   
We ended up sitting in the last row. 
I threw up five times on the flight to Vegas.                     
A pickpocket stole our wallets.


Regret:              
I really wish I had booked tickets to the show before we left. 
I know better than to carry lots of cash    
How could I have been so stupid?
  • I can’t believe I…     
  • I knew I should have…  
  • Why did I…?             
  • I can’t believe I…
