After I leave the university at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, I go to pick up my daughter from daycare, as the route is far and I use public transportation (bus), I arrive in the city around 5:30 depending on the class.

I get home around 6 PM, during which time I organize my house, make dinner, shower and bathe my daughter, eat, take my medication, do my devotional and prayers, play duolingo and go to sleep until 10 PM at the latest.

My routine weekly

Every day, I usually wake up 05:00 A.m. I get up, after I Pray to start the day. After that, I take a shower, I make the bed and I feed my dog. I prepared coffee and I have breakfast. I wear clothes and I go to work, from Monday to Friday. At the work, I hope the students for the class to start the class, generally 07:30 A.m. On the route, I step on tráfico lights. At halftime, I look at my cell phone. Leave work at 12:00 P.m.

My routine changes only on weekends. I usually take a walk in the Skate Park with my dog. I love walk in the Park. I like to see people, trees and to feel contact with the nature and sometimes, I go to the free market buy fruits and vegetables with my daughter. On Sundays, I like to visit my Son and my sisters. I think it's important to maintain ties and we smiled and talked, when possible, we walk arround the City.

I always wake up 6 a.m. Then I take a shower and get ready for work. My boss's name is Ana. She always makes coffee, and we drink it together. Then I do my job, wich is taking care of her grandson, Erick, who is 1 year old. After that, I go home.

Every monday, I wake up at 7:30 a.m. Then I brush my teeth and a I go to the kitchen make my breakfast. I often eat two eggs with some juice or just water. This prepares me for the day, because on mondays I do gym earlier. After that, I feed my cat and I take a shower while I listen some classical music on Y.T. I love mondays, I have been going to the gym for two years now, and mondays are my favorite day for lower body training. Sometimes on mondays I try to visited my grandmother after my gym but these weeks I'm busy with the university and the whole thing. Later, when I am at home, I like to do my lunch in first of all and next take a shower and then dress myself, so I can watch my firts class in the day at the federal university. The last class was a good one, we started talking about how gramaticals rules It's so important in our lives. Classes start at 2:00 p.m, so I leave home at 1:30 p.m. to arrive at the university at around 1:50. Before entering the classroom, I look for a drinking fountain so that I can fill my bottle with water. Some Mondays nights I also have class in other university but is private one. In these time i'm already tired so I just watch the classes patiently until I can leave. Once I'm finally home, I try to read a little of one of the books I'm reading. I'm the type of person who can read lots of books without losing myself. It's also a good way to get sleepy! Anyway, life isn't easy; it's hard, but I wouldn't swap it for anything.

My day starts around 7:30, sometimes 8 o'clock. I don't have a set time to wake up; when I do wake up, the first thing I do is thank God for another day of life, for another day I can enjoy my family and the wonderful life. After that, I brush my teeth, take a shower, get dressed, give my wife a kiss, we have breakfast, I watch the news on TV, but it's not always like that. Sometimes I have to pick her up at the hospital where she works, always on Tuesdays and Sundays around 6:30 in the morning. Then in the afternoon, we have lunch around 12:30, we get ready, I drop my wife off at her other job at the health clinic where she works every afternoon. After that, I go to the university. When I leave there, I stop by the clinic again to pick her up, and we go home. At night, I do any pending activities, then I take an online English course, and sometimes we watch movies or series.

We don't have a set time to go to sleep, we usually go to bed between 10 and sometimes 11:30. Every night before going to sleep, my wife and I thank God for the day that has passed, then we pray silently a Our Father and ask for the health of our children, our parents, and that the next day may be better than the one that has passed.
