I fought the sickness

James was recently sick and woke up in the morning saying, "Last night I fought off the sickness but I think I need today to re-engergize."  He also has decided to try a dance class.  At first he was hesitant but then he came around saying, "Well, I've decided to have a shorter thinking time.  Usually I have an hour thinking time in the morning and an hour in the afternoon but now I can have a shorter one and I can do the dance class."
