A Typical Day in my Life (2020)

                Since I started working from home as an ESL Tutor, there were quite a few that I kind of have to change from what I used to do, just like waking up early in the morning because I usually have early classes. I am so used to staying up really late, and I really like darkness, well I still do. If I don’t have an early shift or any plans the next morning, I would still stay up really late. Some of my friends actually called me a vampire, for the obvious reason and also because they rarely see me outside especially when the sun is out.

                I would usually try to wake up at least an hour before my shift (5:00 am, I’m starting late now, since covid19, it used to be 3:00am), I would also listen to some pop music while prepping. My schedule kind of varies, I’d usually open two classes so that’s an hour and I’d get myself ready if I have a booked class then, and oh! before that, I make sure I drink at least 1 glass of warm water (You gotta keep yourself hydrated, It used to be two, but now I feel like there's so much water on my system more than what my body needs so I decided to limit it to one). After an hour, I realized now I have to allow some time for breakfast too (I never did before), so I’d have my breakfast for about 30 min, and then if I have a scheduled booked class again after I would then continue taking classes, usually until before lunch (1130-12).

            I have instances where I don’t have early classes, so sometimes I would use that time to do some exercise for at least 20-30 min.

                I still, live with my parents, so usually, my mom would cook food for lunch, sometimes I would If I have gotten some spare time in between classes or If it so happens that I don’t have any booked classes, then so after I finished with my work I would have my lunch. 

                After that, it’s my FREE TIME, so it depends if I don’t have any plans( like groceries, or run some errands and whatnot), normally you’d find me either reading some book, (recently also some Mangas) or watching some random videos online or movies or binge-watching some TV dramas, or maybe trying to catch some sleep, esp. If I wasn’t able to get enough sleep the night before (which is almost always. night owl, eh?)

                In our house I made everyone to eat dinner at least before 6pm, so we do that, because I want to make sure that we already had our dinner at least 2-3 hours before bedtime, which in my case even more since I’d usually had trouble sleeping, especially if without music.

Sometimes, after dinner, if my internet is okay, and If I feel like it, I would then open classes again, usually for about 2-3 hours; it really depends on the day. Hopefully, I could be able to do it consistently added to my new routine is to practice my writing, like this.  

 It is necessary that I have music on when sleeping, otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep at all, and it has to keep playing the whole night, because if suddenly the music stopped playing for some reason, I’d automatically wake up, no matter how deep my sleep is.  

So there you go! That’s my typical day for the whole week, I‘d even get busier sometimes on the weekend though.
