I Lost my Duolingo Streak

Okay so this is actually a pretty old story, but basically I got Duolingo and was learning Spanish and Hebrew and Russian (but now I’ve added Italian, Scottish Gaelic and Greek). I got a really good streak (62 days!), and then I lost it because we had to go on School Camp. Now I’ve recovered my streak to 26 days today.

But why am I telling you this? Because somehow I missed FOUR WHOLE DAYS of practice and Duo is still after me. I can’t evade him much longer. Help me.

GAVI’S Book Reviews

So I’m just gonna basically review books out of 5 and comment on them, so yeah.


NO 1. GREEN EGGS AND HAM

6/5

I know I’m supposed to keep it below 5, but this book changed my life forever. You can’t know if you like green eggs until you try them? Yeah, you can’t! And this is advice I never follow.


NO. 2 : KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES (THE WHOLE SERIES)

5/5

Changed my life too. It was so well thought out and planned and written and… wow.


NO. 3: RACCOON POST

10/5

okay so this isn’t a book… but it’s the best!

How making granola took me 10 minutes

So you're all probably like,"whaaat? How did you mess up granola? It literally takes 1 minute to make!"


And I'm not sure either lol. So basically, I was making breakfast, and there was some granola. So I chose to make that. But the granola was new and unopened, so when I tried to put it in the bowl, nothing came out.

So I got out some scissors and tried to open the packet of granola, but it didn't go so well. The scissors weren't working!

So I got another pair of scissors, but guess what? They weren't working!!! So I powered through, and eventually got a hole big enough to pour out granola.

Then I poured in some milk, and put the milk back. In the pantry! So, after realising what I'd done, I put the the milk back in the fridge.

Then I got out a fork and went to eat my granola... wait, a fork? So I went to get a spoon and finally ate my granola.
