On a school day, I wake up around 6am and do my business and leave my house around 6:30. Even though I love to eat breakfast, there is no time for me to eat. Sleeping wins over it by a long mile. If there is some time, I'll head to Dunkin Donuts and grab some coffee. We are going through the season of fall and nothing can warm you up like a nice cup of coffee. I always order the same thing every day, regular coffee with 2 spoons of sugar with hazelnut creamer.

Which is extremely annoying, if I must say. First, I take the R train and since the first stop is right by my house I get to have a spot. Then I hop off, go one the D train and get of on my stop. The whole trip takes around an hour and thirty minutes. By the time I reach school depending on what day is it, I go to whatever class I have. Since I am blessed and picked up all the early sceduele, I get to go home early.]]> 2017-10-08 17:52:09 UTC https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195025075 doudreesal https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195025378 2017-10-08 17:54:34 UTC https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195025378 doudreesal https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195025408 I love thursdays because it’s my last day of school since I have fridays and the weekend off. First I go downstairs and see if there’s any coffee left and make my self a cup of joe. After that I head upstairs, dress up (depending on the weather) and then I head to school. ]]> 2017-10-08 17:54:53 UTC https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195025408 doudreesal https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195029302 I have French in the morning and I absolutely love that class. My professor is brand new teacher and she makes the class so fun. The downside is that we get a lot of homework and quizzes which is a pain but it’s I can do it. The next class I have is History and dear lord is that class boring. Don’t get me wrong it’s an easy A but my professor loves to talk and if you say answer that she wasn’t thinking she’ll move along to the next student. She’s a sweetheart with a straight forward attitude. We tend to watch videos and take alot of notes. Not fun at all. After that I’m done with school so I head back to a cafe and have my breakfast there with some of my friends. ]]> 2017-10-08 18:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195029302 doudreesal https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195030248 After an hour and thirty minutes later, I finally make it home. The minute I get there I throw my backpack, go upstairs and wear my pajamas. I walk back downstairs, grab my laptop and see what my mom made. On that day she didn’t make anything (which is so annoying) so I had to redress AGAIN and go get some Chinese food. Then I went back home and went on some buzzfeed, react and Adam ruins everything. That’s literally all I watch on YouTube. Finally I get bored of it and go on Twitter or Tumblr. My mood varies from memes or some emotional stuff. There’s no in between. My mom goes and picks up my siblings from school, my little brother Ryan whose 10 and my sister whose 7. I like to say Thursdays is that one day I can finally relax and be free. That one day I don’t do my homework, where I can sit and chill. 

Since there’s no school on Friday, I stay up pretty late around 1 in the morning. Then when I feel my brain feels all fried, I put my phone on airplane mode and knock out. ]]> 2017-10-08 18:37:14 UTC https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195030248 doudreesal https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195032356 Oh Friday’s, I love you so much but I have so much homework to do. That’s literally the first thing I wake up thinking about because nothing me more happiness then finishing my homework. 

I wake up around 10am and walk downstairs to make myself some coffee. As for breakfast or cooking in general. I don’t know if it’s just me but food tasted so much better when someone else makes it l. There’s a diner that’s near my house that I always go to, while walking in I give out my greetings. Oh yeah I forgot to say, I bring one of my brothers with me. I have a total of 3 brothers and one sister. The one I bring with me is the one after me, and we order what we felt like on the menu. ]]> 2017-10-08 18:55:50 UTC https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195032356 doudreesal https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195034003 2017-10-08 19:10:05 UTC https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195034003 doudreesal https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195034079 The first homework I do is my math because it takes too long and I prefer to finish the longest one. It’s online and you have to answer question but since it’s math it isn’t that easy. It takes me around 3 hours to finish and I’m super thankful when I’m done. Then i go straight to French and that also takes 3 hours. Learning a new language is hard man. The only reason I really wanted to learn French is because of beauty and the beast (favorite Disney movie of all time since I was a kid). I’ll stop and go on Snapchat and send some snaps so I don’t break my streaks. My friends will kill me if I was the reason our streaks are gone. Then my mom will tell me to get off and go back to my homework. I’ll do my English and history homework and it usually takes up an hour each. It hits around 6pm and I’ll be done completely with my work. 

My mom tends to be done cooking around that time and I’ll check to see what she made. She made I think one of the best food to be created besides lasagna. Pasta. ]]> 2017-10-08 19:10:44 UTC https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195034079 doudreesal https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195036178 2017-10-08 19:30:10 UTC https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195036178 doudreesal https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195078693 On the weekends I tend to go to work, which sucks to be honest. I work at chipotle and let me tell you something it is the biggest pain in the arse. I wake up at 6am, make myself some coffee and go on my phone and leave the house by 7:15 even though my time starts at 8. They say that if you are on time you are still are late. Like what the hell. So I begin working as a throughout the whole day. Not many people are trained as cashiers, so we are always short staffed on them. The weird part of my job is that instead of having a break in the afternoon-we have it in the morning. Around 10am, we can either eat something from chipotle or we go get food outside. Finally after 8 hours later, I get off at 4pm and make my way home. Once I get there, I go see that my mom bought some pizza and my family digs in. ]]> 2017-10-09 02:37:06 UTC https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195078693 doudreesal https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195286466 2017-10-09 16:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195286466 doudreesal https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195287566 Usually in the night I just grab my laptop and watch some movies or tv shows. My favorite tv show has to be Teen Wolf or Game Of Thrones, one ended and one will soon end. But I’m loving Brooklyn Nine-Nine (Because I’m from Brooklyn😂). I tend to sleep around 12 am in the morning and knock out. ]]> 2017-10-09 16:03:50 UTC https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195287566 doudreesal https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195303681 My sundays are basically my saturdays. Wake up and go to work but today there was this new manager and nobody really liked her. There was this rumor that she was firing people-old or new it didn't matter to her. Everyone was really shaken because they wanted there jobs and stated to kiss up to her. Mind you that they are in there middle age, so they really wanted to keep the job. Myself and some other college didn't really care. School took a lot of our time She ended up firing a lot of people but luckily I wasn’t one of those people. Later we did our job and carried on with the rest of the day. ]]> 2017-10-09 16:45:42 UTC https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195303681 doudreesal https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195321197 After I left home, I went to staples to grab a couple of materials for my sisters project. Her teacher wanted the class to create a zoo, that includes a compass, odd and even numbers and animals. First off, who gives a seven year old this kind of project. My sister could barley color in between the lines to create a whole zoo. So guess who had to make it. I shouldn't be complaining though because projects are my specifiltly. I love to make projects, its honestly fun but time consuming. It took me a couple hours and with her help, we got it done. Hopefully she'll get a 4 on the project. ]]> 2017-10-09 17:29:15 UTC https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195321197 doudreesal https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195325530 After the project, I went to study for my science midterm when my brother came home from work and got me dunkin. He works there so we get free stuff all the time, its honestly lit. He got me an iced coffee, a donut and an egg and cheese bagel. When I was done eating and finished studying, I went to sleep.]]> 2017-10-09 17:40:04 UTC https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195325530 doudreesal https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195336361 2017-10-09 18:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195336361 doudreesal https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195338355 So I woke up this morning around 10 am and grabbed from the fridge a yogart. ]]> 2017-10-09 18:09:56 UTC https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195338355 doudreesal https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195627988 Throughout the rest of the day, I just went over my notes for my science midterm that is on Wednesday. I've stopped studying around 5 pm and got hungry. My dad wanted to make chicken cutlets and mash potatoes (that's the only thing he knows how to make). He prepared it and it was done around 7. It tasted alright, my mom makes it better. I went on my phone for a little while and officially went to bed around 10:30. Which is unusual for me because I tend to sleep around 9. Since my french teacher is out for the rest of the week, I gave myself an extra hour to rest. ]]> 2017-10-10 14:45:30 UTC https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195627988 doudreesal https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195633277 Surprisingly enough, I woke at 6 am even though I could have slept an extra hour. My body seemed to get used to waking up early because I couldn't fall back to sleep. Today I took my time into doing things, like I sat down drank my coffee and made some eggs with toast. Around 7 am, I dressed up and 7:30 left to go catch the train. For the first time since I've started this semester, I actually came to school early. Like 8:20 early when class starts around 9:15. In that class the professor gives us an article to read (10 pages) and quizzes us on what we read. So I used up my time to study and went to class. 

When class was over, I went to he library and went to finish my homework. One thing about me is that I will get distracted at home and waste countless of hours going on my phone. But if I'm in school, it will motivate me into finishing my work and study. So by the time I get home, I can just chill and relax. ]]> 2017-10-10 14:53:22 UTC https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195633277 doudreesal https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195638376 I think I left school a around 5 pm and took the train back home. Let me tell you something, do not take the train in the afternoon. My god, is it crowded. People are invading your bubble and push when they need to leave but there's more. We have this one homeless guy who I see every damn week come up with different stories on how he's poor and asks for money. I'm a broke college student, I'm the one whose in dire need of money. Then we have the musicians who starts banging on the drums and who plays the guitar and another one who sings. For some reason when I leave school I get a massive headache and hearing that makes it so much worse. But they all end up leaving when the trains hits times square. The best part of the train is when it crosses the bridge and you see the ocean and the sky. Every day I am amazed at it's beauty, I never get bored looking at it. It's the best part about coming home. After that I head off to a different train, wait for the last stop and head home. ]]> 2017-10-10 15:00:49 UTC https://padlet.com/doudreesal/8jflu2h53oa1/wish/195638376
