A bright morning – that's what I thought when I woke up. I turned around and moved my comforter. The moment my feet hit air my eyes widened and I let out a silent scream.

COLD, dammit COLD!

I started searching for my phone , it must be somewhere under the comforter or under the pillow. Come on! Where are you? You stupid stupid phone.

Ugh, I woke up and set foot on the floor. THUMP – Dammit you phone, I might have slept away reading a book on it.

Turning on the phone I saw the temperature, it said -10 degrees. That's it? -10 degrees? Wow , just pleasant and wow. Such a warm and bright day to start college – NOT.

I check the time and realize have only 30 minutes to get ready and go.

Hurrying out after taking a quick shower and getting ready I rush to the kitchen.

Peanut Butter – Cereals – Peanut Butter – Coffee – Peanut Butter

Well, peanut butter it is! I toast the bread and grab a dollop of PB and lather it on the bread. Maybe the bread is getting suffocated with all the lip smacking goodness.

Chomp chomp, mmmmmmm

"Hey baby" I hear a whisper from the living room.

Damn I woke her up, I'm such a bad room mate.

"Hey you sleeping beauty! Sorry I woke you up with all the sound in kitchen. Why are you awake? Go sleep now. I'll get going in 2 minutes anyways , else I will miss my bus"

Sara rubbed her eyes and looked at me like a cute kitten.

"That's okay. I will sleep back once you leave. I don't know how you do this after working your ass off for the whole night. When did you return and sleep anyways? I was awake until 3 am. You were not back until then."

I gulped down the coffee I prepared in hurry and washed my mouth and answered – " Don't worry, I was back at 4:30 am. Got a good sleep for an hour. I am good for the day now. Just need to get my caffeine rate up so I can hang on the day" and chuckled.

She looked at me like a grew another head and shook her head.

"You go and study well kiddo. Ping me once you reach college though I might be sleeping until then. Don't forget to call me if you need anything. Got it?"

I looked at her with adoration and said "Aye aye captain!" and hung my bag around my shoulder and left for college.

Alright you guys , I know you want to know what I do and what I am doing going to college. Here you go!

I work the week in a firm as a software developer.

But as I want to learn more and pursue my passion of baking, I study the weekend in a college. Want to be a perfect pâtissier .

And Sara is my roommate, she works as well for the week as a software developer but in a different firm. Our offices are nearby so it works out perfectly for us.

Winnipeg – ever heard of it? We stay here and this is the place I am building my dream.

I am happy with the way my life has turned after moving to this city from my home and I look forward to meet a new day and make the most of it.
