Fionnoula 

Honestly, never shuts up. One time, Fionnoula took off her band-aid an wrapped it around my pencil. I took it off and it was wet! They say shes a ray of sunshine in a storm but honestly she causes the storm. If she could die, I wouldnt be opposed to it. Next time you see her, tell her she smells like death. Probably because she causes everyone to die tbh.
Its Fionnoula!
Everyone run!

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
