"What am I gonna do on the bus?" (I thought of ways to revive my phone during the bus journey.)
"I can't reflect on my life, that's what I do just when I decide I'm gonna try to sleep."
"How am I going to listen to music when I run?" (I said the rosary while running. Yeah, you read that right. It actually kinda helped me to focus.)
