get round to doing sth On the last class I learned a grammar "get round to doing sth.". There are two ways to use it, either when you wanted to do sth but could not until you finally have time/energy/money, i.e. I wanted to go to Vietnam two years ago, and I have got round to doing it until recently; or when you are reluctant to doing sth but have to do it, i.e. I have got round to finding him a place to stay.
