I got a promotion at my job this week after my review of my 90 day probationary period. I've moved up in the world, and am no longer at the bottom of the barrel...

Ich bin am Freitag nach ein Toga Party mit Simon, Ryan und Jenny gegangen. Der Simon und ich haben schwartze Togas getragen, obwohl die Toga from Jenny war Orange, Ryan´s Toga war grün.
