Embarrassing story (50-100 words): After walking too much for one day, I decided to cut across the expressway on the way back to the school to save time and energy. We made it across but had to climb a fence. I made it up okay but on the way down I ended up ripping off a piece of the bum of my pants on the fence. It was no good; they were Parasuco’s.
