Original:
Can’t wait this Friday coming. Because that day will be the day I finally could have my own cat. I’m a super cat lover, but never allowed to had a pet. Because my mom is very squeamish, she always hate to see hairs on the ground and she never interested to any pets. You might think I got approval from her finally , and congratulate me. Thus the truth is I made the decision by myself. However I feel nevous , exciting as well.

Edit:
I can’t wait for Friday to come. The reason for that is that Friday is the day I finally get my own cat. I’m a super cat lover, but I was never allowed to have a pet, because my mom is very squeamish, she hates seeing hair around the house and she was never interested in pets of any kind. You might think I got approval from her finally, and you might congratulate me. But the truth is I made the decision by myself. However, I feel nervous and excited at the same time.
