What was Erik doing when Jane called him?

W: Wake up, Erik, time to rise up and shine.
M: Huh, oh, hi, Jane. (4)I must have fallen asleep while I was reading.
W: You and everyone else. It looks more like a camp-ground than a library.
M: Well, the dorm is too noisy to study in and I guess this place is too quiet.
W: Have you had any luck finding a topic for your paper?
M: No, (5) Prof. Bryant told us to write about anything in cultural anthropology. For once I wish he hadn’t given us so much of choice.
W: Well, why not write about the ancient civilization of Mexico. You seem to be interested in that part of the world.
M: I am, but there is too much material to cover. I’ll be writing forever, and (5)Prof. Bryant only wants five to seven pages.
W: (6)So then limit it to one region of Mexico. You’ve been there and you said it’s got lots of interesting relics.
M: That sounds great. (7)I brought plenty of books and things back with me last summer, which would be great resource material. Now if I could only remember where I put them.
