I was buried, completely trapped, underneath my mountain of used Mountain Dew cans, and was finally rescued ten minutes ago.

It was Hertz! He said we’d play just one quick game, just one…

My roommate’s robot dog ate my homework last night around 7, so I should have it for you in two more hours.

I decided to catch up on sleep from last week and went to bed immediately. That was 28 hours ago. I just woke up.
