In my opinion,next michigan test is going to be as easy as pie,because we have been learning a lat of new words such as ''as easy as pie''.Also, I am sick and tried of writing essays. Although I have been bending over backwards to have good result from my writing, i still dont have this. Moreover I know that i shoul take some topic to write that bitten off more than i chew. Cut it of man. What are you doing,don't you se i am studying. My friend who is Abdul Aziz shpuld drop his wife a line, because i am sure she miss him. We are trying to write somethig now,our aim is to figure out idioms. I always fill in for someone,but noone fill in for me :(
