Everything begins with sound of that
alarm going off which usually is next to my bed. It is not that
horrid like those monotone ones out there...on the contrary, it's
melodic and sometimes, it helps with my positive mood which comes in
light during the said day. At the beginning, I find myself laying on
my bed, in the darkness which fills the room and with only one small
light disturbing it, that one coming from my keyboard as always. At
least it's of blue color and I like blue color. I need about 5 good
minutes to get back into reality and find the power to pull away from
this space between being half asleep and half awake where you can
remember your own dreams. 5 minutes are usually enough unless I wish
not to hurry. Before I can move any further and slip out of my bed, I
am usually attacked by that cute furball which inhabites my room
since the last Christmas time. A bit of licking, some bites and
plenty of cute puppy dog eyes staring at me in between are what I
need to wake up completely. Unfortunately, that lasts for about 5
minutes as well until Snoopy gets bored of me and moves on to chase
his toys and bite his bone. I don't complain any more even though I
cherish those moments of my life and those mornings!
With Snoopy being gone, I can finally
debate on whether I want to attend my morning classes or not but
usually my evil self wins and thus, I leave the warmth of my bed.
Preparing myself is one of the best procedures of my morning, A warm
shower when some time has been spared for me, new clothes, freshly
washed ones and the taming of my hair which takes some time during
those wild days. That is all I need and even though I have barely any
time left before departing from school, I managed to get a bite or
even a gulp of water if not tea or coffee.
An hour later after my awakening
moment, I am finally in the train station along with 10 or more other
people who are to depart from there with the same train to arrive in
their workplaces downtown. Truth be told, I hate short train journeys
but I do my best to cherish them and have as much fun as I want. For
that, I need only my ipod with my favorite music which I listen for
about two hours in the morning and during that ride. The train is
full of people, some sleepy ones, some awake and hidden behind the
pages of newspapers or books or even ipads. Most never really pay
attention to what is happening around them and react only when the
voice announces the train station they need to get off. They barely
even talk with each other and that makes me wonder where technology
has brought us. Do they even communicate with each other anymore or
is it always a matter of free wi-fi, of how much battery their phones
has and so on? I simply don't get it.
15 minutes pass or 10, depending on how
fast the train is during that morning, before I can get off and join
others on their way down the stairs. I separate from them soon and
follow my own short way to school. The neighbor where that is located
is not much. On the contrary, it's full of small business and shops,
things I do not really care other than the store across of the
building where I spend 4 hours of every week day. First, I visit the
bakery for my morning coffee and capuccino and surprisingly enough,
the people who work there most of them have come to know me in such a
short time. They only need to take a look outside the window and
smile at me before putting the cup under the machine for the said
coffee to be made. With those two in hand, I proceed further to my
destinate and usually I arrive earlier than the teachers even or the
owner. During that time, I make myself comfortable outside at the
stairs, playing a game on my phone or irritating my friend with
messages and emoticons but not enough time for anything else. At some
point, I end up entering the class and I can finally enjoy my coffee,
revise the things we had done the previous day and check on my
homework before class time.
And then it begins...German
class...Learning a new language...
It's 12:00 when I leave the school, if
not earlier than that. Normally, I hurry off to the train unless I
have any plans like meeting a friend or so for a coffee during lunch
break or going downtown, something which rarely happens on the every
day basis. If that is not the case then I quickly walk to the same
station of my morning only to board the train of the opposite
direction.
Truth be told, my life is not that
adventurous anymore. I attend that school and I return home to study,
chat with friends and so on. I need about an hour to put my room in a
good order with my dog running between my legs, biting, playing and
so on. He is rather adorable but annoying all the same when tiredness
kicks in.
During the rest of the afternoon and
evening hours, I spend my time online, researching for my courses and
in between doing my German homework with care and half love.
Sometimes that can be exciting but then again...German is a difficult
language to learn with all its rules and long words. You get used to
it but there is always a limit. With some free time being left for my
own enjoyment, I simply catch up on the series I watch during the
week and if there are not some good ones, I put on some of my
favorites movies. Anything to spend the day before getting back into
writting or finding inspiration to write.
Night arrives and after another warm
shower and some time relaxing under the water, I can finally prepare
myself for bed. Always new Pjs, some perfume for the final touch, the
creation of a braid or two and in bed for the last hours. The best
company for me has always been a good book, new or old, I do not
mind. But it has to be there with my dog bitting the cover page or my
fingers, begging or digging for treats before he retired at his own
corner for bed time..
An average day in the life of myself,
not much but precious!
