My family is coming over for dinner tonight. There are 10 of us, so it's a big dinner. I'm making spaghetti and meatballs. I made the pasta, meatballs and salad already. I just have to go to the store and pick up some bread, butter and pasta sauce. I went to the store got the bread, got the butter, found a really nice looking cake, got some mozzarella sticks for an appetizer and bought some wine. I got home... I forgot the pasta sauce!!!! Now I have to go back to the store. :(

Yesterday I saw my old teacher. I hadn't seen her in a long time and she looked very pregnant. I said, "Congratulations on your new baby!" She looked very upset and said, "I'm not pregnant!" I can't stop thinking about it. My roommate says I should just forget about it because I can't change the situation but I still can't stop. What will I do when I see her back at school?

We have a big test tomorrow. My classmate doesn't have the book and is on academic probation. He cannot fail. He was really stressed out and asked if he could borrow my book for a couple of hours to study. I told him he could keep it until tomorrow. He wouldn't stop thanking me and telling me how grateful he was. I have been studying all week and I understand everything very well so it's ok, I don't need the book.
