Spring Break: The Great Gatsby Do

Decent Essays
Spring break was boring.All I did was eat a lot of junk food, and watched Scooby Doo. Although I was pretty busy, since I had to go to my friends 15th practice and I also had Track practice. Due to those circumstances I could not finish episode 32 of Scooby Doo. I baked a lot of sweets, but I ended up giveing them away since it was for a party (in whitch I was not invited to), but its okay becase I didnt wanted to go to it in the first place. I had spend easter alone; since my parents werent home, and so I hed my own eggs and went loking for them
