ROBERTO and SANDRA
My friend Roberto is a nice guy. we have been friends since we were classmates in the elementary school and even in high school,, but after high school we both took different ways as he moved to the capital.
In our small town the opportunities to study and live were really tough. We lost touch . Last week I flew to that beautiful city, the capital, and you wouldnt believe me but i run into my buddy Roberto, it was such a big surprise and we had a small conversation, then we agreed to hang out on saturday night . we went to a coffee and spent hours just reminiscing things about our childhood . We were laughing a lot when we were talking about those crazy games and when we were having fun there in our small town.
I didnt know that my friend Roberto studied a career , he was commenting me how hard is if people are studying.
He signed up for medicine and, wow , it is a tough career, i tough.
I was enjoying my cappuccino while he was telling me his time was at the university . Roberto enrolled in medicine as i said , he was always complaining because the teachers were handing out assignments pretty much every monday then he had to hand in those papers the next friday.He was doing well as he was a top student, but he met Sandra. T he way he was talking about the girl, i noticed he liked her. Sandra liked to party . One day sandra invited Roberto to party, he accepted to join her , the problem was that Roberto fell in love with the parties , so he ended up neglecting his career .He started to skip classes , every friday he was cutting physiology. Roberto fell behind in that subject , but he is a clever fellow . He noticed that he could retake physiology .
My friend was in hot water , as he started to pull all nighters , soon he got a caught up, and he started to hit the books then he saw the results . he aced all his subjects .
I then asked him about Sandra , he told me that sandra had many problems . she was partying all the time , she was drinking , and she was always skipping her lessons. The physiology teacher withdrew her from the course . She was in problems pretty much all the time .
She even plagiarized her final then the teacher reported her to the university and she was expelled .
I didnt notice that my time was over and Roberto wanted to keep up with our conversation but i had to leave .
We are going to hang out tomorrow so ill let you know what we blabber about .
THIS STORY WAS MADE UP

I TRIED TO USE HELPFUL VERBS WHEN WE ARE STUDENTS
RUN INTO something or someone= you meet a person or a problem without planing, you dont expect to see that person----- I RUN INTO mr right in the mall last saturday
To SIGN UP FOR = to ENROLL= you are going to be taking that class

HAND IN= youre giving back that paper to your teacher after you finish it
A PAPER = AN ASSIGNMENT
To SKIP= TO CUT= if you skip your class, you are not assisting to your class
To FALL BEHIND= the teacher is teaching something different everyday, so if you skip one class youre losing that info, so you are falling behind----- you are paying your internet service every month, if you dont pay one month you are falling behind.
To be IN HOT WATER= to be in problems----- if you are not studying you are in hot water , you wont pass your exams

I always study on time , i never pull all nighters .
