I am eager to have a school-assignment-conversation with him in English. After our very first class of English I walked up to him and talked to him for a bit (I really don't like him =\) in English. It has been years since I could talk properly with someone in that language while being of the same origin. Eitherway, we both messed up our first test. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> (he got a 7/10, I got a 8/10)</p><p></p><p></p><p>Well, no offense, but I would do practically the same thing as he would.

[QUOTE="Fladian, post: 124559, member: 5833"] The weather has been quite strange here.
