dad: Get up. time to get ready for school. you tell me to wake you up at 5:30 and you don't get up. i don't understand you

me: shhhhhhhhhhhhh its sleep time, not wake time.

dad: whatever.

i usually look at my alarm clock around this time and  i take note of the fact that it is 5:30 and i had planned to curl my hair today. after trying to sumon the strength to pull myself out of my coma, (haha, sleep, coma, get it? no? you see im such a heavy sleeper that i- never mind.) i realize that it is impossible. so i accept the fact that my hair will either go in a high pony tail, get straightened, or in a bun (if im really pressed for time)

*dad comes in my room evry three minutes untl i get up*

super annoyed, i get up  just because i cant sleep with the light on.

i stumble into the bathroom and wait for my mom to leave the bathroom. in that time that im waiting, ill either sleep leaning on her dresser or say hi to my baby sister. usually the extra sleep wins. finally, she exits the bathroom.

Mom: Goodmorning, sunshine!

Me: No.

Mom: Allllrighty then

at this time i'll get my iPod and put my headphones in. i like to start my morning with a quiet song. maybe the Grey's Anatomy theme song? yep thats always a winner.

Dad: are you doe with the toothpaste?

me: -_- no. wait. *puts toothpast on toothbrush* here you go. *extends arm out to give toothpaste but intentionally puts hand too high*

dad: monster. *exits bathroom*

now ill brush my teeth, wash my face, take a shower, brush my hair, and get everything i need to do my hair. it takes me a good two minutes trying to decide what to do exactly to my hair (because its usually just a frizzy mess when i wake up) but after deciding, i go into my room and put down my supplies.

now ill go into the closet and pick out my outfit with a coordinating pair of Jordans. this takes about fifteen minutes at the least. i should probably start laying my clothes out the night before... this would save me time... eh well that can be my new years resolution. next year. maybe

while getting dressed and doing my hair, i listen to a more of a pop- todays hits- zumba type of music. it just gets my day going and makes me happy. i usually listen to Ariana Grande or Fifth Harmony or Tinashe.

something i really need to start doing the day before would be putting all my books in my bookbag the night before. i admit, i dont do that. i really should, but i dont.

while im styling my hair, my grandma would usually walk in

Grandma: Ali you gotta wear a hat today. its freezing.

Me: No i dont.

Grandma: Well at least wear a pair of snowboots, theres at least one layer of ice outside.

she actually wasnt lying about that one. last week i fell all the way down the stairs outside because i had on a pair of regular riding boots instead of snowboots. oops.

once my hair is finished, and everything is in my bookbag, ill spray some perfume (Victoria's Secret Bombshell, of course!) on my wrists and my neck. now its time for the accessories! earings, scarves, necklaces, and bracelets. the high light of my morning.

now ill walk into the kitchen and grab my lunch and head out the door!
