How i created my account

creating this blog account was really a challenge. i spent almost two weeks straggling with this. At first i created on account but never wanted to open or post anything. I gave up for some days. once at a moment i thought of that if i gave up i am just going to get a zero and repeat language in practice b next semester again.  one day i went in the library and try open a new account but then it does not want again. I thought to myself that may be i did something bad at my Lord and now he is panishing me. But lastly i succeeded and creat my account
