question: I realized that i no longer have this thing to carry on my shoulders as I go through the day . This looming responsibility of doing X - amount of stories to get X - grade . The thing is , I did the x - amount of stories , i lived with this monkey on my back for 16 weeks , i let my grades in other classes slip for a B - fucking - plus ... but i am not bitter ... It is over and I am happy .
Q: What may have been the thing I was complaining about ?

answer: It was a writing class that was difficult and led to my lack of attention to others .

question: Now , for someone who likes water as much as I do , I ' m not much for boats . I do n't get sea - sick or anything , I just do n't like them as a form of transportation . God only knows why ... So we get there and I take a video of our approach to the island , and it 's pretty . Then I get off said boat , and begin to explore the island , which has lots of great tourist - trap shops and little resturants .
Q: Why is the speaker informing us that they do n't like to travel by boat ?

answer: They are reflecting on this fact about themselves and pondering the reason

question: A 2hr live radiohead concert . You got ta be kidding me , right ? I do n't know how I survived the 7min download , the load onto my ipod and the coffee break in my office ( the whole lab was in there cuz I bought coffee for everyone and B brought cookies ) . But finally , I had to work so headphones in and volume up .
Q: Why did the 2hr concert only take 7 minutes to download onto the speaker 's ipod ?

answer:
They have a relatively fast internet connection and a download of this size was no problem
