At ten in the morning, I woke up to see my mother on the phone. She looked at me and said, “Your sister has secured the first position in her ACCA Financial Accounting paper in all of Pakistan.”
I thought: “Again?“
Mom: “I want you to get 90% marks on your TOEFL, do you understand?”
Me: “Huh???”
اوپر والا جب بھی لیتا، لیتا چھپر پھاڑ کے
Sometime later my sister called again.
My mother turned to me, “Your sister has also gotten the third position in her Financial Accounting and the fourth position in her Tax paper in the whole world!”
I thought: “That explains the low IQ rate of the world!”
Mom: “I want you to top your TOEFL in the whole world, understand?”
Me: *blank look on face*

LOL! You have my sympathies my friend. And topping in TOEFL ain’t no big deal. The test is pretty easy, and you should score somewhere close to 90% anyway.
Oh I can do that but top in the whole goddamn world? I ain’t that hardworking!
I’ve read this thing before, haven’t I?
Oh i can totally understand..my moms exactly like that!
Good luck though, maybe you’ll make it! InshaAllah
Yeah. And if god isn’t on my side, this won’t be the last time!
The whole problem is, I don’t want to make it. I just want enough marks to get into a good university, that’s it.
a funny thing is going on at my place nowadays
