We ' ve all heard it before , and I ' m sure some of the other 2D 's felt a little bit of pride , but some of the new students got kind of hushed and worried looking . The teacher went about it in a very good way though . Apparently , Kota and I had Ed during his first semester he ever taught . We were n't aware of it then , because he was excellent .

A: Why are Kota and the speaker surprised that it had been Ed 's first semester ever teaching ?

so here 's a story.i need to get rid of that fucking turtle tank . decided i was going to clean it last night . i can be brave and move the turtles by myself , which was a feat , lemme tell ya . i used the net but the little fuckers would n't let go then stopped moving and i thought i suffocated them .

A: What is causing the tank to become so dirty for the narrator ?

Gustav did n't do as much as we were afraid it would . Parts of LA took some real damage , but so far New Orleans is still intact . Our area got a lot of wind and rain , some tornadoes , but we made out just fine , with just some limbs and trees down , and a relatively short power outage considering how many trees were down on the lines ( around 6 - 7 hours ) .

A: Who may be the Gustav I am referring to in my statement ?

But first I had to trim away some of the shrubs growing up around the window frames . I trimmed other brush , too , because I was out in the yard working , anyway . Foul white flies and other winged pests flew up around me as I worked . I found a nest yellow - jackets in a hole by the apple tree , and killed them .

A:
How may they have killed the yellow jackets ?
