@juliapearlmeg no problem. I'm really enjoying it so far. I hope to someday be as good of a writer as you

Hi Joan! I just wanted to drop a thank you for reading my new story. MUCH appreciated! ((:

@anncza yeah, most 17 year olds are finishing up highschool around now or staring their first year of college like my sister.   

It's kind of hard to explain because there's a big difference between the school level of your country and ours. Here in the Philippines, there are 6 levels of grade/elementary school. In high school there are 6 levels, too. (It used to be in 4 years but then they added 2 more years) In college there are 4 years. So right now, I'm in 2nd year of college. I'm just 17 years old and I think 17 there in America are still in high school, senior? 

@anncza Technically I'm in 7th grade but I go to school with highschoolers and take freshmen classes so I can graduate early if I want. What about you? By the way, sorry for disappearing, I didn't have a laptop for awhile... 

@hellotherestrangers Ohh. What is your year level now? 

@anncza No, it's more like our teacher teaches us Mandarin, but everything in the room is in Arabic

You mean you aren't supposed to take Arabic class but was forced to because of the sharing-of-classrooms thing? 

@anncza I'm actually not exaggerating, and my school has a lot of teachers but not enough classrooms so the teachers have to share. so my Mandarin class every Wednesday is decorated in posters showing you different Arabic characters and what they mean

Woah. Are you exaggerating? That's too long. But at least the grammar is easy. Why do you have to take the Arabic class anyway?
