Another way to say " a day we look forward to"
Hi, everyone
Can I use the "expected day" or "anticipated day" to descirbe the meaning of "a day I look for to"?
But it is kind of misleading to use the two adjectives, the "expected" only implies something I feel it will happen, however, without emotion. "look forward" seems to express the exciting to the impending things. So, is it proper or not to use this term?
Thanks!

An interpretation of "I'll see where I stand"
Hi, I'm confused with the following sentence:
"You know money has been burning a hole in my pocket, so in a couple of months I'll see where I stand."
What does the last sentence mean? Is the speaker still out of money in a couple of months?
Thanks : )

What does the "terraced stories" mean?
The largest, later named Pueblo Bonito(Pretty Town)by the Spanish, rose in five terraced stories.
"The largest" means a building I guess. Then what does the part "rose in five terraced stories" mean? A building with 5 floors?
Thanks.

What's the meaning of this sentence ?
Judy Dater`s photographs depict everyday reality while also evoking qualities so fleeting that few photographers can capture them.
My confusion is what the connective subject of "fleeting" is. Does the "fleeting" describe the "depict everyday reality" or "evoking qualities" ?
Thanks in advance : )

Natural Monster ! Three hurricanes / typhoons show up in NWP
http://tropic.ssec.wisc.edu/real-time/imagemain.php?&basin=westpac&prod=irbbm&sat=gms
Above is the satellite image of what happened in the NWP (North-Western Pacific).
I think everyone lives in countries next to Pacific or Atlantic may hear about hurricanes / typhoons frequently, especilly in the scorching hot summer. NWP is the most suitable area for their development due to the warm surface ocean that can supply enough energy to "spin up".
It seems to be terrible in couples of day : (
ps. Any question about atmospheric science is welcome !
