Learning activity 2

Waking up is a struggle for me especially if I had been studying the previous night and only slept in the early hours of morning. I usually wake up tired,my mind telling me to go back to sleep but my brain telling me to wake up and prepare for the day ahead of me. 6am is the time I wake up and prepare for my day. The hot water from the shower awaken me completely as they hit my skin softly making all the drowsiness and sleepiness to go away. As soon as I'm done fixing myself probably around quarter to seven,I rush around the unit making myself a quick snack for the road because I can't stomach a heavy meal in the morning. I usually go for cereal and as soon as I'm done eating I head out to the bus.

In the bus I find my fellow students chatting and conversing about their morning and what their plans are for the day and I sit in front. I don't talk much in the bus because I don't have friends so I just absorb the peace and serenity I find in being silent and focusing on the events happening outside the window while pondering on how I'm going to make it today because everyday is a struggle. As soon as I arrive on campus I get ready to put on a smile and greet the members at the gate because they're always friendly and it's only fair to return the favor. When that's all done I head straight to class, making sure to greet people on my way there because that's how I was raised. I was taught not to pass a person without greeting him or her. That's my daily routine. I always greet whenever I pass.

I attend my classes for the day ,I usually have two to three classes a day and most probably I will leave the campus not knowing anything I've learnt from my classes because I'm not a auditory nor visual learner but I learn best when reading and writing so I prefer just noting down important headings in class then going over them on my own and making my own notes. I take the bus back to res when I'm done.

When I get to my room, I start by tidying it up because I don't have time to do it in the morning. I tidy it to be neat and clean then sit down for an hour or two studying one of the modules I was attending. When those hours are over,I put on some music on my phone and head to the kitchen to make real food. I cook my meal and chat with some of the girls I usually see around res. After cooking I head back to my room and eat then was my dishes. My body usually feels tired after doing all those things so I throw myself in bed and scroll on social media until I doze off to sleep. One hour or two I wake up feeling much refreshed than before. I feel ready to tackle any problem that comes my way so I sit back down on my study table and study other modules. When I have spent enough time studying I take a shower and prepare myself for bed because it's usually late at night when I finish with the other modules. After bathing I go back and log into Facebook and write one chapter in my novel. Writing heals me. I write novels on Facebook ,it's what I love and it helps me interact with different people who actually read my novels and tell me what they think of them. From them I learn and I grow as a writer. After posting the chapter I wrote I go back to reading,this time I don't make notes ,I just read through the material for a specific module which we're going to be tasked on or which I don't understand. Only at one or two in the morning ,I pack my things nicely and pray then I climb the bed and sleep feeling great about myself.
