Grammar exercise

1. Turn the sentences below into correct English sentences where you find it necessary
2. Find the future tenses in the text. Can they be changed into another kind of future construction?

I just turned 25 today! 25! The Big two FIve. A quarter centruy old! Old. I am OLD!!!!!

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Now,  if you excuse me, I will go get obnoxiously drunk. You shall find me at some time this evening, in my bathtub, in the fetal position, naked, crying over my rapidly wasting youth while nursing a bottle of Jack Daniels with the water running. Jack, my old friend. My old and loyal friend. Oh how much me loves you on nights like these!

See y'all tomorrow! Hopefully I will be able to remove myself from my "Quarter Life Crisis" and get myself out of the bathtub in time for work. No gurantees though: Me and Jack will wrestle tonight, and I don't think I will win! Will keep you updated either way! (SM)

"Well think about it" he said with his smooth reassuring voice (but with an edge of impatience she now felt) that used to soothe her.

It was all she did think about all she apparently could that he could dream otherwise enraged her. But she always lost when they argued. Her temper would flare up he would become instantly reasonable mature responsible if not responsive precisely to her mood and she would swallow down her tears and hate herself. It was because she believed him "good." The best human being she had ever met.

"It isn't as if we don't already have a child" she said in a calmer tone carelessly wiping at the tear that slid from one eye.
