My morning routine changes daily as I only have in person classes on Tuesday and Thursday. Although, I usually try to sleep and wake up as early as possible. On Mondays & Wednesdays, I wake up at 9:00am as I have online classes. First thing I do is drink a class of water and feed my cat, as I usually wake her up with my alarm and she’ll start meowing because she’s hungry. After that, I make myself a cup of coffee and give myself time to scroll through my phone, I’m not much of a breakfast person. My first class is Stats with Probability, which starts at 10:00 and ends at around 11:40. I really enjoy my first class as the Professor seems to be a very bubbly person with high energy, so it allows me to pay more attention to a class that is usually seen as ‘boring’ and ‘difficult’. After that class, I get a break from 11:40 to 2:00pm. I usually use this time to eat a snack as well as doing any daily chores I have pending, while also trying to complete any assignments or homework I have due that day or week. At 2pm I have my second and last class for the day, which is C++ Programming 1. I pay a lot of attention in this class, which is a bit difficult as my professor has a pretty monotone voice, and is a lot more laid back compared to my previous professor. Class ends at 3:15 which allows for enough time for me to pick up my younger brother from school, and it’s also when we go to my grandma’s house for our lunch. Mondays & Wednesdays are definitely my favorite days, as it’s calm and not much movement involved.
Tuesdays & Thursdays are quite hectic, as I have in person classes and work. I wake up at around 7-7:30am to start getting ready, which involves me preparing my breakfast and a snack to eat on my walk for my train to Brooklyn, taking a quick shower, brushing my teeth, and leaving food ready for my cat. I do feel anxious on these days, but I use that to my advantage since I do things a lot faster under stress. By 8:30 I am out of my house and making my way to school. My commute goes by pretty fast, as I like to read books on my phone to pass time. When I arrive to my stop, I start walking towards City Tech which usually takes me around 8 minutes, sometimes 15 if I still have leftover coffee to drink or if I’m early. My class starts at 10:00am, and I’m already leaving the building by 11:45. I’m in a rush as I have to get to my job by 2:00pm, but I usually get there a few minutes early just so I have enough time to get my things locked away, now I’m standing at the register and am signed in by 2pm. I work until 6pm, and make my way to my grandma’s house for whatever she made for dinner and leave my school work for Wednesday or Friday.
The photo that I wanted to add was the photo of my cat, Luna. Very common name, I know. I chose it because I really want to spoil her, but I know I’ll need a well paying career for that. She supports me by sleeping in my lap during lectures and during the nights I stay up in order to complete assignments or projects.
