Problem: it really does take years and tons of mishaps to realize that . it does n't necessarily make them a bad person , but it makes you a smarter person to realize it and move on . -i spoke to my adviser yesterday before picking out my classes for the semester , and i ' m wising up to the fact that i need to not be afraid to ask for help when i need it . i ' m actually not too far off track , and i ' m not in such a bind as i thought i was .

Why is the narrator picking their classes slowly ?

A: The narrator wants to avoid past mistakes .

Problem: Under duress and threat of force . I also wrote 3/4 of an utterly insane short story . ( No joke there ! ) Or maybe it was wild and crazy of me to get up at 6 a.m. while on vacation to row across the lake and retrieve a small raft that had escaped into last night 's storm . My iPod randomed me up some Ice Cube , so I got to hear about a good day in South Central as I rowed across a pristine oligotrophic midwestern milquetoast lake .

Why did the narrator go out on the lake so early ?

A: None of the above choices .

Problem: I talked to my landlord and she said they 'd been living there since September 1st and just had n't gotten around to notifying me yet . She said there was n't much of the deposit left because she used it for all of August AND for advertising ( Pennysaver , Craigslist , things like that ) . Then she said that she had 21 days to give me the remainder back after I gave her the keys .

What was the reason for the ads ?

A:
She needed to find another tenant .
