IN: I had gotten my oil changed earlier in the day , and when I walked out of the door after my shift at the newspaper I saw that my right rear tire was flat . This is not the first time I ' ve had a flat tire soon after an oil change ; I think I may call the oil change place Monday and complain . Anyway , it was nearly 5 p.m. on a Saturday .
What happened before I noticed the flat tire ?

OUT: I went to work after getting my oil changed .

IN: Eventually , they would pass my peers and I for doing the bare minimum , which benefited them just as much as it benefited us . After class , I might gather with friends to smoke pot , drink forties and critique each other 's artwork . Rarely would we gather to study for a math or psychology test - and rarely did it matter .
What type of student does the narrator seem to be ?

OUT: They are a poor student .

IN: He does not like his roommates and without a single friend it is hard to go places and make new ones . Anyway he called me up last night to " see how everything is " with me and he asked me to see him on monday for dinner . Now I know for a fact if he had ANYONE else he would not contact me .
What was the reason I was not enthused about meeting with him ?

OUT:
I felt that he was desperate for a companion .
