history: I didn't start grad school after telling people that I was going to. I was planning on going to grad school and I told a lot of people. I ended up not going_comma_ and I felt embarrassed every time someone asked me about how school was going. That sounds very uncomfortable. Were you honest with them about your change of plans?
current: Yes. Without really giving details, I always kind of shrugged off their questions and told them that it didn't work out.
next: Right.
