Evelyn decided to go get a grilled cheese mid-trip, right?
216
She came onto the train with a phone charger and a coat.
217
She went to get a grilled cheese and she came back and she left without a charger and without a coat.
218
Because someone stole her coat.
219
Someone stole my coat and my iPhone charger.
220
She like sat back down at her seat and she's like someone stole my coat.
221
Like I get back to my seat and there was nothing there.
222
And then Erica was like just ask the man next to you.
223
And she was like the man changed.
224
Yeah because midway the train stopped while I was in the cafeteria.
225
So like people were going in and out I guess.

231
Guys, there were so many things going wrong in that train.
232

233
They pissed me off, bro.
234
I was carrying Emily's duffel bag with my big ass coat bag.
235

237
I'm like, bro, why are you...

It's like literally not okay to steal anyone's coat Like why?
246
Please genuinely tell me why you decide to see a coat Why is it in something else?
247
I know I'm just like Well you're looking to steal your bag or something Yeah, if you're gonna steal something, steal something more useful.
248
Like, why a trench coat?
249
Why a black trench coat, okay?
250
I owned it for like three years.
251
It's a pretty expensive trench coat, I'm not gonna lie.
252
And now, I have to struggle.
253
Being in this cold-ass city without a coat.
254
And honestly, it was my favorite coat.

260
And number one is denial.
261
Number two is confusion.
262
Number three is anger.
263
And then number four is realization and sadness.
264

Like if you lose your coat, you're going to talk about it all day long until you get a new coat.
315
And you know what?
316
Maybe I'll vlog my experience of buying my new next coat because I literally wore that black coat for so long.
317
I'm going to go back in time to when I first bought this coat.
318
I was wearing it in 2021.
319
Yeah.
320
So I think I bought this coat sometime in 2021
321
and it is currently 2025
322
so i had this code for four years honestly like it had like at least two more years to go
323
but honestly i'm gonna like just process it right now i'm processing
324
that it's gone for real sorry i'm being really dramatic um you know what like
325
when you lose a precious item that you like
326
it's fucking upsetting but now it is time for me to buy myself a new coat
327
and um it was a special coat to me
328
so i don't know how i'm gonna replace it but
329
when i do replace it it will be a good one i'm gonna splurge on my next coat purchase
330
because i did splurge on that coat and i wore it for four years
331
so honestly good for that coat good coat it had a long life and now it's someone else's Anyways,
332

344
Guys, I've been online shopping for the past 30 minutes.
345
There's like so many coats that I want to buy now.
346
I'm low-key happy that someone stole it.
347

348
It's currently 10 p.m right now.
349

352
but like right now i'm online shopping and you know
353
that feeling when you're online shopping
354
but like you want to buy like everything you're like i need all of this right now i'm going through
355
that so i'm adding it to my car i'm not going to actually purchase anything
356
because i know that my purchases will be irrational right now
357
because i just got my coat stolen
358
so you're talking like someone who just got out of therapy
359
losing a coat is a very significant thing no not losing
360
getting your coat stolen literally why did someone have to steal your coat
361
because now we will never hear the end of this literally
362
why all right i'm trying my grilled cheese it's like oh

366
fake tomato juice best thing on this menu was the bolognese
367
pasta this is what our table looks like i am going
368
to take a shower doom scroll on what i will be buying in the future get a good night's rest
369
and i'll see you guys tomorrow morning bye good morning cat cakes it is currently 11 a.m
370
and we are about to go onto the panel in about two hours or like an hour and a half.
371
And guys, let me just give you guys a rundown of what has been happening this morning, okay?
372
Well, first of all, we ate breakfast.
373
This was our breakfast.
374
It was very yummy.
375
We decided to do in-room dining service because it is just like the easiest.
376
I woke up today at 5am in the morning to my boyfriend texting me, hey, your dog is vomiting everywhere.
377
I FaceTimed him.
378
I'm like, hey what's going on is she okay he proceeds to show
379
me like literally all over my bedroom all over my carpet
380
like literally five different spots of chai's throw up everywhere
381
and it was like the color green i mean it was
382
like orange red dark brown i immediately my gut was like this is bad
383
so i told him like you need to take her to the vet he takes her to the vet
384
and i'm like walking him through this whole process
385
and i have like anxiety through this whole thing
386
because chai likes to run away when she's near a vet
387
so I'm telling him like please make sure you're holding on to her
388
when you're taking her to the vet and I'm just like anxious
389
because like I'm not there
390
so like I'm on FaceTime with him the entire time he
391
takes her to the vet they do some checkups blood tests
392
everything they don't know the actual cause as of this moment
393
they think it's like a bacterial infection thing maybe from food they're trying to figure out what it is
394
but they ran some tests they're giving her IV fluids
395
and now she's still in the emergency hospital right now
396
and she may have to stay there overnight just to get her IV liquids in
397
and the whole vet bill was like four thousand dollars
398
which was honestly like more than that it was like five thousand dollars
399
which is insane to me as soon as I found out
400
that Chai was vomiting I called my mom like hey like can you pick up Chai
401
because like I honestly don't trust Ben to take care of her no offense um
402
so my mom's like already on her way to New York
403
and she arrived in this at the time Ben
404
and Chai were at the vet
405
so she arrives in New York she's like hey like I'm trying to get in the apartment
406
but it's locked and I'm like oh shoot maybe the lobby has a spare key
407
and Ben's like oh shoot I left both the spare key
408
and the actual key inside the apartment so there's no way to get in
409
so he had to call a locksmith my mom had to
410
go back home like it was just such a mess despite
411
all of this Erica woke up this morning with a horrible horrible allergy reaction
412
and her face was like swollen up like no other she
413
couldn't even open her eyes like she literally she looked like a different human being
414
so she's putting on makeup right now
415
and at first we're like okay maybe she can't come to the panel
416
but we'll check up on her how she's doing is her
417
face doing okay i'm still chopped i actually look chopped guys
418
erica is dealing with like some sort of eczema flare-up you
419
really don't have to go to this panel i want to she really wants to go so
420
um i know
421
if this happened to me i'd be like all right i'm out y'all can do the panel
422
but this is such a cool opportunity like i don't want
423
it i came all the way here i'm thinking of putting like my sunglasses on i don't know
424
if that's like a douche move i guess once you put your makeup on
425
and once it's just gonna look
426
so i really don't want to put my makeup on my
427
face like i want to be super super minimal i look
428
like thousands of bees just decided to attack my face overnight Comment down below
429
if you guys ever had to go through this.
430
Basically, Erica is going through some sort of...
431
It's like...
432
You guys can't see it over camera, but it's like so bumpy and so rad.
433
And I just took high-ergy meds, so my eyes feel a lot better.
434
My eyelid is still gone.
435

436
But I need to wash my body.
437

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
