On Saturday, I attended the Young Pioneers Congress as one of the eight student rapresentatives of our school which is very interesting but also tired. Last Sunday had nothing special. On Sunday, it was raining in the evening so I just stayed at home, wrote some homework and had a program lesson for three hour in the afternoon.

Hello guys, I'm Nicolas from Brazil. I live in the city of Blumenau. I'm 13 years old. My weekend was very nice! I watched Friends, Dark (for the second time). I played with my dog. Her name is Lola. The lockdown is not so strict anymore, so I could go to the mall with my parents to buy clothes and have a snack. September 7 is the independence day holiday here in Brazil. So, we took the opportunity to go the beach, It's 1 hour away from Blumenau. At 6 I was back home and I called my friends for us to play Call of duty, GTA and Minecralf.
