I wake up early everyday, the latest I wake up is 7:00am, which is actually a rare occurrence. I normally start my day in prayer, to thank Jesus Christ for what I perceive as the gift of waking up, and ask for protection throughout the ensuing day. Immediately after praying I am encompassed by peace as I continue to bask in the warmth of my blankets. I take the next few minutes to indulge in my unhealthy habit of scrolling on social media. I enjoy the time that I have to myself because I don't particularly enjoy speaking in the morning.

Two and a half hours before my first class I get up and make my bed, open windows and sweep my room if I'm not feeling lazy. The ingress of the gentle breeze allows for the permeating of a crisp and fresh smell. I then leave my room to brush my teeth take a 45 minute long shower, playing music throughout. The embrace of the delicate touch of the droplets on my skin, my aromatic body wash and the elating sounds of the song in background join forces in ensuring that I leave the bathroom in an exceptional mood. When I return to my room, my roommate is normally awake. She's my friend and I adore her. I am always gleeful at the sight of her beeming smile as we acknowledge one another's presence. She's ready to talk as soon as her eyes are open (well even before, she talks in her sleep) so we'll engage in light conversation, while I get dressed.

No matter how early I wake up, I'm always too late to prepare and devour a filling meal, so I always settle for a light snack. This is where the other one that I adore, my other friend, who is also my housemate, interact for the first time. I'm always overjoyed when I see her. I notice during our embrace that she smells heavenly, and looks stunning. We have all the same classes, so then we'll be on our way. We walk to school and we'll often complain about tired, aching legs and the scorching sun in between laughter filled conversations. We're late to all our classes. We both despise it, and always have conversations about changing it but we always let ourselves and eachother down. The earliest we have been to a class is 5 minutes late.

When we finally arrive we have to take on the daunting task of walking through a full class. Eyes on us as everyone attempts to see the disruption causers. This is my biggest motivation to wanting to be early, however my friend doing it with me mitigates the anxiety that it brings. We'll then settle down and join the class. After our last class we make our way home. This is when we'll have something to eat with my roommate if she is home. This is my favourite part of the day. The aroma of the flavoursome food and the paraxism of laughter fill the air as I enjoy company of my friends. We'll then sit in each others's company each paying attention to our own things such as our phones or school work. 

Later on in the day, we'll all meet in the kitchen with 2 of out other housemates. It's when we cook and do dishes, it's not really planned and really it's out of convinience, but I love it. We'll talk about our day make a little fun of each other and sometimes even have deep conversations. Once that is done we'll go our separate ways. Once I'm my room I'll prepare for bed. I'll scroll on tiktok to tire myself out, then I'll say a prayer to thank Jesus for the day, and then I'll go to sleep.
