"Standard of living - what does that even mean?"

Not a bad start to the shopping period. Do I really want to take five classes? What am I thinking? This may be my one chance to go out with a bang, but this risks the bad kind of bang. Just for clarification, we want good banging only. Taking one or more of my classes pass/fail might come in handy.
After a grueling tkd practice where I manage to strain a tendon in my leg yet again (at least it's the other leg this time), I look forward to easing the pain with a plateful of monkeybread and those tasty-looking tortillas. Not this time; [bat!bat!bat!] [arrowed!] ([possums...]) - yet another speech to listen to.

At least he didn't say nucular.
