XoyyoX I am not a student anymore, and actually don't like do any part-time jobs, coz I have got a job now, what I can devote myself to is just one between the two, a job just for money? I would sleep rather than do that....LOL

XoyyoX Some of my students skipped lessons, and one of their reasons is that they are gonna spend a honeymoon week or month, they love skipping lessons with various excuses, but I believe that go to school and learn is the smartest choice in the long-term long.

XoyyoX yeah, things and pets might pass by, but good memories would stay alive with us as long as we have memories.We people always live a longer life then most other pets, so, you are right, if they're dying and just let them go, which is a way of universal life.

XoyyoX if that's the rule-"excuse me" before and "sorry" later, how would that explain that phenomenon that we often say "excuse me" after we sneeze.

XoyyoX i finally heard a different voice, but maybe as it is known, the usage of 'excuse me' is changing, and it may be acctepted to say excuse me in some unpredicable situations.

XoyyoX but we do say "excuse me" after we sneeze, like other friends here say, our sneeze always comes out of control and beyond our prediction. So 'excuse me' in this usage is similar to "sorry"
