A second joint opened, but it's carry-out and the reviews I've read aren't encouraging.

Oh, man, the Thai restaurant next to the school closed down last year and I was heartbroken. They gave you enough food in one meal that I could always bring some home and make two more out of it, and they'd always have some interesting dessert come complementary -- a scoop of ice cream one time, a little round individual cake another. They were good people and it was a shame to see them go.

In that case you have no choice but to accept the harsh truth and consign yourself to having to take breaks every few hours while your phone and powerbanks recharge.

English is indeed hilarious. I saw them doing stand up last week.

Bit late to the party, but while both are correct, "I'm disoriented" is more correct.

Disorientated is a past participle. So "I am disoriented, and have been for some time" = "I am disorientated". "I am disoriented" is strictly present tense.
