Oh, but you can start classes next semester.
Nothing good ever happens to me.

Chef Dorothy Dale cancelled her Easter cooking class at the last minute.
Did she get sick?
No, she got an offer to appear on TV and flew to New York.

That's a big letdown.
Oh, well. Such is life.

Meow!
Oh, but on the way back, I found this little kitty.
Yeah, she is so cute. Let's keep it.
Oh, thank you. I'll name her Scarlett.
No, don't.
Why not?
She'd be gone with the wind.
You are right. Just like that Dorothy Dale. Ugh!!!!!
Meow!

Wow! That cat is a lucky duck.
Yeah, we would like to talk more about that little cat, but, well, we don't have time left.

I broke off my engagement with Ernest.
Really?
I could kick myself.

Maybe it's time to move on.
I'm trying, but I can't get over him.
What possessed you to break it off in the first place?
