history: The day I got accepted into nursing school was the best day of my life.  The day that I got accepted into nursing school was just an ordinary day.  You weren't excited about it? Well I had been waiting for weeks and was unaware_comma_ but at the end of a stressful day I checked my mail and the letter came in to let me know if I got in or not. 
current: I understand. Stress is a definite mood killer
next: I agree, but then I opened the letter and it ended up being the best day of my life!
