Good to know, I'll refresh before replying then. I just did it now actually, since I replied to a few other threads before this one.

I'm not kidding about this btw, the Pakistani customs officers are very corrupt. I couldn't take everything in a backpack with me or in a suitcase, since my family has a lot of clothes and such, which meant my Wii, XBox and several other things went into a box. The custom officers use the excuse of a threat in the boxes (you know what I mean by threat hopefully), and then they rip apart the boxes, inspect what is inside and then take whatever they want. And we couldn't stop them, since we were in Dubai. The only way to stop them is my bribing them, and even then there is no guarantee that they'll leave your stuff alone. By the time we got the boxes back, they were all ripped apart and many of my valuables were gone. Thankfully, I had important keepsakes and some other stuff (like my laptop) with me in my backpack, and my parents kept their valuables (gold and all) with them, too, so there was no serious loss. But yeah it was frustrating that we couldn't do anything and it makes me glad that we're out of Pakistan now. You should totally buy a 3DS, there's lots of good games to play. Right now I'm waiting for Pokemon Sun and Moon to come out. You could always get a 2DS, which is cheaper, but I would personally get the 3DS. It's extra cash but worth it imo. Oh haha, it's actually the opposite for me when it comes to cousins. My oldest cousin is 14 years older than me, and my youngest (so far, the cousins just keep on coming) is 14 years younger than me. Most of them are kids, but that's okay because I get to use them as an excuse to do kids stuff (taking them trick-or-treating, btw). I would love for you to show me around :D that would be amazing.

Hmm, well I guess if you keep on searching (and like you said, improve your resume), then you can get a job well suited for you. I'm only 16 so I don't know that much about finding jobs, so I can't offer much advice there. Good luck, I suppose.

Oh wow, that's cool. Being here has improved my social skills too, in all honesty. Actually, when I joined this wiki I wasn't even in school so this was a great way to keep interacting with people, especially those with similar interests. I ended up making a lot of friends and I love my time here now. It's good that it improved your life so much too! I've never been shy about oral presentations, since I've always loved attention lol. I don't think I've ever backed away from a chance to speak in front of a large group of people, especially when they have to focus on what I'm saying. I'm a naturally dramatic person, too, which seems to give a good impression to people when I publicly speak. Peer reviews are really fun, since it's much easier to impress fellow students than a tough teacher (which I have for English).

Oh okay, I see. It's different in Pakistan too (we go by the British system). Too bad you couldn't take excelled Biology (is that the right terminology?), it's one of my favorite subjects.
