Congrats to me!

Throwing stones always pays!I got my test back and I had a 93%!The last time I had one of those it was spelling tests for primo.I usually used to peak at 85% later on.Also I am happy that Chelski were unable to breach fortress Anfield.Yes the match ended in a draw but we play again on Sunday.Let's see what comes out of the bag this time.
I was hanging out with my akataa chic pal since I have a few I will refer to her as D from now one.So the gal had a paper to do and she wanted usaidizi.So I stroll over and end up proof reading and writing for her the conclusion.The amazing thing is the way akataas find english hard by the way I am not generalising!Pick up today's New York times, there is an article that was showing how minorities even those in very good school districts are gnashing academically 37% of akataa students gnashed english in Princeton High School ( that should give you a clue to where the school district is ) and 55% gnashed maths.So it was really strange that I a foreigner who had to do an english test so as to get into the uni has to proof read and articulate a paper on behalf of someone who has been speaking english all her life.Ironic isn't it!Other then that it is time I got started on one of my other papers and I think I will treat myself to one of the Heinikens I have at my apt to celebrate.

I dont find it funny at all about your friend having trouble with English - trust me all the institutions of learning I have been in here, us Africans and Asians are always the best in EVERYTHING - dont get me started on white people.

Congrats though on that Grade - oh, make us proud wont you?

Represent, Represent Acolyte!! You've done yourself real proud, way to go bruh!
Hope you celebrated without a care bcoz a 93% in college is a rarity. Keep it up & show 'em what you're working with.

Unfortunate that 'native speakers' of the language can't do so well. The media's only making matters worse by frequently using very informal vocab.
