Hello Ahmed, Hope you did well with your exams
last
week. It's been almost a month since we met because of the final year examinations. About me; I finished yesterday my
last
one, but don`t ask me how it was because I really don`t know how I managed all that stress.
However
, let's wait for the results. By the way, I've some bad news for you about your Sony PlayStation. My little sister had broken one of the joysticks accidentally while she was playing. It slipped from her hand when she was talking to my mother, and the bottoms were broken. I felt very angry about that but what to do? What happened has happened. Anyway, don't worry about that, I have already spoken to my father and he promised to buy a new joystick similar to yours. I`m so sorry for
this
and hope that you still let me borrow the console from you in the future. See you soon when you finish your exams. With love, Mohamed
