This summer has been a very good summer, last year I worked in a pizzeria but this year I didn't work, I had one excellent excuse, research project!
At the beginning of the summer my mum said me: Blai where will you work this year? and I answered: no mum, this year I can’t work, I have a lot of school work, I have the research project! For this excuse I didn’t work....jejeje! please don’t say anything to my mother, she will kill me!
