The next day, I went to check my result on Brunel University. To my greatest surprise, I reached 260. I couldn't believe I did it. I was overjoyed and didn't know when I called Priscoll. He didn't pick up the first time. I tried calling him a second time, and when he finally answered, he sounded annoyed.
"Joanna? What!" he said rudely.
I tried to ignore his tone. "Why do you always sound harsh? Almost every time, huh?" I asked, trying to keep my cool.
"What did you want?" he asked gruffly.
I took a deep breath and shared my news. "Well, I passed!"
Priscoll seemed to have forgotten what I was talking about. "What did you mean you passed? What?" he asked.
I sighed inwardly. "Priscoll, the exam at Brunel University," I reminded him.
There was a pause before he responded. "Wow! What's your score?"
I told him proudly, "260..."
