Thursday 23rd May

Thank God it’s the half term holidays tomorrow; I really need a break! My US history teacher was giving out essays to plan and she decided to give me an essay she wasn’t going to give out originally because she couldn’t answer it herself. Not gonna lie but I’m still so proud that she thought I could be able to do it!
