Detailed Instructions: In this task you are given an anecdote. You must find out whether the anecdote is something the author has done or is considering doing. Label the instances as "HISTORICAL" when the author has already done something and label them as "HYPOTHETICAL" when the author is considering doing something in the future.
See one example below:
Problem: So I have a good friend that I enjoy hanging out with, but they aren’t good at turning people down so whenever I invited her somewhere and she doesn’t want to go she says yes and then either constantly reschedules, claims she will get back to me with a time that works for her, or cancels at the last minute with some lame excuse. So would I be an asshole if I confronted her and told her to cut the crap and just be straight with me so that I don’t waste the time and energy trying to make things work if she doesn’t want to go? Also do I have any right to be upset since even though my gut tells me she is just being flaky, she is also a very busy person so there is a chance that I’m just overly sensitive.
Solution: HYPOTHETICAL
Explanation: the author is talking about something he wants to do.

Problem: I've been very lonely for a long time, few friends, don't see anyone very often; my friend on the other side of the country had planned a trip to come visit me in a few weeks, and I was extremely looking forward to it. Then she tells me that a friend of hers had also planned a trip to my town by coincidence, and that they're now coming together with the intent to hang out as a group. I'm really not a group person, but I guess I could handle it with someone I know; it's just that I was really looking forward to seeing her by herself, and hanging out with someone I don't know makes me very uncomfortable - it always has, and she knows this. I don't think she's the asshole here, but I'm not sure if I am either? I'm a little peeved at her, but mostly just saddened. What do you think?
Solution:
