Tim Fights Back, The Flatmates, ep. 89

Episode 89: Tim fights back
Tim:I won’t do it! You swapped the real watches for the fake ones and now you’re trying to wriggle out of it.
Boss:Tim, you’re making some very serious allegations. Do you actually have any hard evidence?
Tim:Well, I bet the police do. I bet it’s only a matter of time before you’re behind bars, where you should be.
Boss:I don’t think so. You’re the one who sold the watches and if anyone’s going to prison, it’s you, Tim. But whatever happens, I think our working relationship is about to come to an end, don’t you?
Tim:You mean you’re firing me?
Boss:I’m sorry Tim, I think I’m going to have to let you go.
Tim:Oh no, you can’t fire me, because you know what? I quit!!!

My expectations for this semester

By

•When I see “Language II” on the schedule, it is still hard for me to assimilate that I am studying the career that I like, so I have great expectations in this career.

My expectations and goals for this semester are to pass the year (which is what I we all want) to further develop my skills, especially in speaking because it is difficult for me to function in that area and speak in front of everyone, I would also like to learn more than in the previous semester and not fall into madness during the process.

I also want to learn about the new teachers and their way of teaching, I also hope to be more organized with my times, ask the teachers every question I have, since that is quite effective when studying. I know that it is not easy but it is not difficult either since we can all do our part to meet our expectations for this semester, it will take a lot of attention and effort but with great desire the result will be very satisfactory.

To conclude, one of my greatest “wishes” is to finish the semester without taking exams and to be able to speak in front of people without getting nervous.

The Flatmates, Paul confesses Ep 71

Episode 71: Paul confesses
Alice:Look Paul, we’ve been seeing each other for quite a while, and I think we’ve been getting on well together…
Paul:I think so too!
Alice:Paul, there’s something I want to ask you, and even though I’m afraid of the answer, I really need to know the truth. Paul, are you seeing anybody else?
Paul:No! Alice, there’s no-one else, at least not in the way you think.
Alice:Not in the way I think? What does that mean? Just tell me Paul, what’s going on?
Paul:Alice, I’ve been trying to tell you this for weeks now, but I’ve been afraid of your reaction. The truth is. the truth is that I was married for several years, but my wife left me eighteen months ago.
