Today is Friday, November 6. I didn't do much this week except have the same routine. When I speak of "The same routine" I simply mean having school and food every day, So I would like you to be part of what I do all mornings before starting school.
Since the corona virus affects our lives. I had to adjust everything like many people did. One of them was the school. I chose to have an online school year. Why? Because I am someone who has a very weak immune system and gets sick very quickly. which makes it dangerous for me to be exposed that way, but when it comes to online school I always have the same routine.
I wake up around 7:10 a.m. I pick my phone to see my messages or I check social media. I enjoy thanking God for giving me one more day of life. When I’m done praying, I get up from my bed and depending on my mood I choose to take a shower or I just simply wash my face and teeth. If I don’t take a shower in the morning I do it after school. Don’t worry about that, I like to be clean. Every day I love to make myself some coffee. If I don’t do it my energy is low during the day. I like to put two spoons of coffee with two spoons of sugar and sometimes I like to add milk. The smell of the coffee wakes me up, feeling the hot steam warming my face and body after being cold is the best way to start the day.
