Early to Bed, Early to Rise. Habit 1

So, during CAPE exams, I had this week where exams were literally back to back for an entire week. History Monday, Geography Tuesday, Spanish Wednesday, History Thursday, Geography on Friday, ugh, it was hectic. I hated it, I had to cope somehow, so for that entire week, I studied literally ALL NIGHT ALL MORNING, took a nap, studied then went to my exam. Come home, then sleep for like 4 hours and repeat. Needless to say i was hella stressed out that week, but at least my brain absorbed a bit more that way, sort of, lol

So yes, point is, my mind works better when it's fresh, and after school all day, I tend to come home and not be able to settle and focus...jointly because I'm tired, it's very hot, I have too many distractions like the internet, my parents want me to do stuff, it's noisy because everyone's active watching television and so I can't focus. I really need to focus, university life sucks. So I decided for my first habit, I would go to bed between 8-9, 9:30 for the latest, and 10 on days when I'm home extra late. and get up between 3-4 to study and do other activities. 

So last night, I went to bed at 9:30 and got up at 4 after the work of about 5 alarms :| lol xD And lemme just say it is awesome! I felt like I literally had more time in my day to do anything and everything I wanted. On normal days I go to bed whenever I feel sleepy, which is usually no time before 1, then get up late and rush to go to school, so I never get to eat breakfast. 
WELLL BLOWWWW MEEEE DOWNNNNNN, 'cause guess what, today I had time to slice bread, heat bread, butter bread, cut rotisserie chicken, heat rotisserie chicken, eat bread with my chicken, AND sit down and drink a cup of tea! FIRST TIME IN LIKE, OH MY GOODNESS, YEARS MAYBE! lol Never did that in secondary school 'cause I got boxlunch (now I don't and I'm very sad) :( 

And in addition to that, I had time to do a little chores, I made up my bed, yes that was a major task 'cause I was sharing with a lot of stuff, lol xD folded and put away plenty clothes. Plus I had time to comb a lot of my hair in twists, and all of this was done before 6:30am! Imagine that. I wouldn't have gotten any time to do that after school, because by then I'd be twisting myself around trying to settle, and I wouldn't! So It felt good :) 

ANDDDDDD it was also so coooooool! I love being up early, because it's quiet, I have time to myself, I have quiet to myself, quiet to sit and pray, quiet to watch the sunrise, see the sky change from it's dark deep blue to a bright one, hear the birds as they wake up ^_^ Talking about birds, the other night I happened to notice two keskidees in one of our trees, I never saw them before, but I always wondered why the tree used to shake gently at night. Till I somehow startled one and it flew out then i watch where it landed. And after that I saw the other one, completeyyyyy camoflauged! it was amazing, to me at least, and now I check to see if they're there every night and they are ^_^ So before 6am I went to see if they were still asleep, and nopeee they were already fluttering about. See even birds see the importance and urgency in waking up early. Early bird catches the worm right? So true. 

So, lots of habits started today. 
1. Getting up early to study and do other stuff
2. Drinking tea and having breakfast
3. Doing some sort of chore for a few minutes
and for these, I feel accomplished. I think this is the start of a great habit ^_^ One that will help me in future endeavours. I'm typing this blog from work at 3:30 pm, and I'm not even tired, I didn't come to school tired either, and I was more alert. 
OOO OOO! I HAD LUNCH ON TIME TOO! :D **backflips** whooooooooooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ^_^ And you know why I had it on time as well, 'cause I brought my own food, I had TIME to pack my own lunch, yeaaaaaa 8-) saved monayyyyyy todayyyy xD Feels like a boss* 

Oooooo and I also started speaking to myself :) Not the normal speak in where I talk to myself, share a joke or two and argue with myself, a different kind but more on that later. It's already after 9 and I'm not in bed because I just got home D: so, till next time :D
