This is how I spent Sunday October 23 from 7am to 11am.

I woke up at 7am, brushed my teeth, washed my face and put on my outfit while checking the weather. -0.25

Headed to the gym( planet fitness) to release some endorphins because my day was going to be long. The gym is close to my house so I walk there. -0.25

Worked out. Danced and did some karaoke in my little corner because there werenā€™t a lot of people. Ended the workout with the stair master and some stretching.-1.25

walked back home to get ready for work. -0.25

Got home and started getting ready for work.(Took a shower, did my skincare routine and my hair, put on outfit, put a little makeup on and finally check the train schedule from the Bronx to Soho).- 1.0

Headed to the train station later than planned. I took the first train then found out the second train was delayed so I had to look for plan B. Figured out another way and got to work just in time . -0.75

Got to work and had a chat with my manager and co worker about an incident and mentally prepared for my 8hour shift. I then opened the door at exactly 11:00 am. -0.25

The helped me reflect on how my time management skills have improved. It showed me how to slow down sometimes because it seems like Iā€™m always in a hurry but in all I would rate this experience an 8/10. I didnā€™t like jotting down my every move.

The show I chose is called ā€œSuitsā€. Suits is an American legal drama series created by Aaron Korsh which premiered on June 23, 2011. It has 9 seasons. You can watch it on Amazon prime video, YouTube and peacock. The show is fictional and based on a New York law firm.we get to see how a law office functions and how the different roles such as lawyers, paralegals and legal secretaries Ā come into play. Itā€™s centered on a college dropout working side by side with one of the best lawyers in the city while keeping his background a secret from everyone. Iā€™ve always wanted to watch it and Iā€™ll keep yā€™all updated.

Who I Am

Hi, I’m Maureen Okyere not o-kee-rie but au-che-rie. I grew up in Minnesota and I’m what one would call an acquired taste. I’ve lived in Minnesota, Texas, and New York and traveled to Canada and Ghana.Ā Ā I’m majoring in law and paralegal studies because I want to become a lawyer someday. I discovered my love for law in high school when started advocating for myself and the people around me so I became president of my school’s Student Government. Unlike my peers, I wanted to become a doctor when I was younger, preferably a surgeon or a forensic anthropologist because I wanted to help people and also liked fixing things. I know that sounds weird. I loved science and everything about the human body. Growing up I watched shows like Bones, Law and order(SVU duhhh), Grey’s Anatomy, Castle, True Crime, and Rizzoli & Isles. It’s cool on TV but not in real life. The older I got I started liking new things. I still love science, and history, reading certain books, Listening to music, singing, free writing, and other things.
