I woke up this morning wrapped in my cocoon of blankets to the sound of my roommates clanking around and talking to one another. I didn't have to be up for another 3 hours but I could not go back to sleep, as usual, when I'm up I'm up. The sun was coming through my window and shining right on my bed so there was no hope of me closing my eyes again. After I gave myself some time to wake up I and walked down to the kitchen at the other end of the hallway. I passed one of my roommates in her bathroom and I said "Hello!" in my typical morning voice trying to sound more awake than I really am. "Good morning!" Kelsey replied back. As I continued my way down to the kitchen I found my other roommate cooking eggs, like always.
"Eggs again?" I said, as she pushed them around in the fry-pan.
"As usual, I love eggs soo much!"
"I am not that hungry, but if I was I would totally have some fried eggs and toast with apple jelly! My Favorite!"
"When do you have class today?" She asked.
"I have one class, 1:00 to 2:15! Quick day for me!"
"You are so lucky! I work 9 to 5 today." She said.
"Well, I would much rather work and make money, than go to physics class!" I replied.
"I think so too!" She laughed.
As we spoke, I sat down on the couch as she finished up her cooking. She then sat down on the couch with me to watch TV while she ate. I grabbed the remote and started to flip through the channels, when I came across Boy Meets World and immediately stopped.
"AH, I am so excited, I love this show! It was one of my favorites when I was younger!" I said.
"Oh me too, I wish they still made new episodes! Eric is so funny!" She replied.
I agreed with what she had said and we went on watching for a little while. Afterward, despite the fact that I had plans to go to the gym I decide to stay plopped on the couch while she got up and got ready for her day.
"Good for you!" I said, as I wished I could muster up the energy to get ready too. My class was at 1pm so I just did not see the point. As Kelsey ran around getting ready I decided to start some of my homework, even though I wished it would do itself. I had just broken into some vocabulary and word problems when Kelsey exclaimed, "Alright, I'm headed off to work!".
"Bye, have a good day! See you later tonight!" I exclaimed.
"OK, thank you! See ya tonight!" She said as she headed out the door.
"Ahhh.. finally alone in the house." I thought to myself, "What to do..."
"I decided to start some of my homework, even though I wished it would do itself."
ReplyDeleteI have a professional interest in that sentence, but the rest of it was interesting too because the secret to a piece like this is one you understand: details details details, do not skimp on the details. Tell us about breakfast, give us conversations, make the ordinary visible to the reader. You do a fine job with all that.
