history: I was supposed to study for a big test in college, and I made a big deal about passing it. I didn't study as hard as I should've and failed. I just had a huge test that I was supposed to pass. I bragged to everyone that I would_comma_ but I don't think I did.
current: Oh no what happened? Why don't you think you did well?
next: I spent so much time talking about studying and didn't really study that well. I think I'm gonna have to inquire about the grade, it's eating me up inside!
