A Day in the Life: The #InternDiaries Edition

Hello world!

Sometimes, I read or watch people talk, or show their typical day in the life. Mine is not an extraordinary one. I wake up, go to work, come home, eat and sleep.

But I have written about two A Day In the Life posts and people seem to enjoy it. My blog is the only place I can write or talk about things like these, because when I write my autobiographies and memoirs, you might not see stuffs like these.

So, here is a day in my life, as an intern.

04:44am Alarm goes off for the first time. Time to stretch and close my eyes again

05:07am Second alarm goes off. Personal time (devotion, journaling, music) and checking social media and emails

05:30am thereabout House chores, prepare fire for water and breakfast

06:00am Personal hygiene. You know, those things……

06:30am Breakfast, dressing up, check everything is in my backpack

07:15/07:20am off to work

08:00am Check planner, relax as I get to work. Here, I try to do work intended for the day. If I get a free time, I journal, write or blog or my project work. If I get some free time, I run personal errands. I do not always go for break, since I am trying to save up some money for some upkeep.

03:30pm we close from work, and linger around.

04:30pm thereabout I get home, try to relax, do chores, get something to eat.

06:30-07:30pm Personal time. I read, or watch a favourite show, journal, or be on social media. Plan what should be done the next day. I mostly chill on the corridor with Mom.

09:30pm Time for bed. Sometimes, I sleep later than that.

This is a typical day in the life of me as an intern. Some days are more fun, some are much boring. But this is just a typical outline.

p.s. Watch out!!!

Nowhere to Place Your Feet

Hello everyone and greetings from a suburb in the city. It has been raining a lot, and everywhere is red and there is nowhere to place your feet. The umbrella is a new accessory to carry around with you. I have a rainy day outfit post coming up somewhere in June.

Anyway, it has been raining a lot, which makes us to sleep in a lot and spend more time in bed. Spending more time in bed does not mean being idle. It’s time for reading novels, checking out tumblr, pinning, blogging and when it stops raining, we go out to buy boiled or grilled corn.

As you go out, there is nowhere to step. Everywhere is wet, and as you walk, you tend to use your head a lot and your heart beats a lot. In using your head, you think and plan on where to place your feet in the next step, and your heart skips a beat because you fear you will slip or sink your feet.

As you walk, you meet different types of stagnant water.

The stagnant muddy one

The muddy one that moves

Clear looking water

The ones in the gutter that sounds like a waterfall.

The ones hiding under the ground that appears when you step on the ground.

 Once again, greetings from a suburb in the city, but this time, with nowhere to place your feet.

Wake Up With Me In Winneba: My Sunday Chapter

My Sunday at its best: Church, beverages, waffles, religious magazines, sea breeze, religious/inspirational music.

The world looks different on Sundays, especially in the society in which I come from. We usually honour the day by attending Church.

Sundays are quiet time alone for me, especially, after Church.

My Sunday routine is actually not any unique one biaa. (I’ve started talking like I am speaking to my friends, lolz xx). I wake up in the morning, put on some good religious music (most of the time, it is either the good local Gospel songs or The Mormon Tabernacle Choir), or watch some inspirational videos from the Mormon Channel or any other inspirational video. I usually get my Sunday clothes ironed and shoes picked the day before. After dressing up, I go to Church.

After church, it’s time for pictures taking with friends and a little bit of chatting here and there. Anyway, it is all good.

I come back home, and have some quiet time alone. I either read more inspiring messages, do some scripture studies, have some beautiful music playing in the background with snacks or just take a nap. Actually, it doesn’t even end there. I might go in for some sea breeze with some friends.

But for me, Sunday is the Sabbath Day. A day of rest, a day for family, a day for reflection and a day for gratitude.

How are your Sundays spent? 

A Day in the Life #2

Hello! Everyone and happy Monday. I am so happy April is running a little bit faster. I mean, it’s been 11 days since the DKB and AJ prank. (Please, allow me to still talk about it. I know it’s over, and past, but hey I haven’t said anything about it yet, so let me still say it. Hehehe xx.)

By the way, AJ is a good actress, she SHOULD be in the movie industry.

Back to today’s post. You know, as I type this post, I am thinking about my “a day in the life” posts. I actually love writing things like this because it is so easy for me to write it. It’s something I have been doing since I began learning to write, just that, I do them in my diaries and journals and it is recently I started doing videos of such (I don’t share the videos online).

Such stuffs about my life is easy to produce. But there is one problem. It is not as exciting as you expect. I don’t live a luxurious life and I don’t have super exciting life. I am the wake-up-go-to-class-eat-kelewele-laugh-all-day kinda girl. Yes! Just a student who is trying to build an empire and is doing it underground.

But if you want to still read about a day in Marietta’s life, go on ahead.

A Day In The Life

Sorry I haven't been updating. I am so busy trying to adjust to life, and make my schedule more free. How can you if you have so many reading assignments to do?

But my favourite days are Wednesdays and Fridays. I get to rest well and have some quality me-time. You know I don't joke with my me time .

I have been reading a lot of  'A Day In The Life ' blog posts and watching the videos and shows, and I have been inspired to write my own.

A day in the life as at Tuesday 06/10/2015.

04:40am : First alarm goes off. I was so deep in my sleep, I heard it in my dreams. The funny thing is I thought it was part of the dream, so I did not immediately wake up. I normally make a decision here,
whether to obey this alarm or snooze dismiss and wait for the second one. I choose the latter.

05:07am: Second alarm goes off. I gracefully obeyed it and TRIED HARD to have my morning devotional.

05:38am: I checked out my planner to see what I had for the day. I added more tasks.

05:40am: Workout. Pop Sugar's 20- minute power plank workout. To tell you the truth, I could do less than 10 minutes. After I went to lie on my bed

06:03am: .......you know, those personal hygiene stuff; brushing my teeth, bathing etc.

07:00am: Playing with my phone. Typical

07:20 something am: Preparing breakfast

07:40 something am: Breakfast time.

08:00am: Checking out technology news. I read about Twitter considering the idea of getting rid of 140-character limit.

08:15am: Working on my E! Online Ghana post.

08:42am: Getting dressed for my 9:30am class at North Campus.

09:30am: Trends in Education and School Management in Ghana. He spoke of a quiz. My heart skipped 4 beats. I was NOT ready. Fortunately, it was postponed.

11:30am: Closed and went back home with my friends, then prepare supper, freshen up and get ready for the next class. I had salad for lunch, which did not satisfy me.

13:48: Class had already started (1:30pm). I was now leaving home but I met a lady with adorable twins. I couldn't help but smile and ponder it in my heart.

14:06: Class had started. Thank goodness, the T.A did not see me enter late. Research Design and Data Analysis

15:58: Class is dismissed. Yay! I can have an early supper because I was famished!

16:30: Catching up on emails, messages and notifications in order to stay on top of things. Plus supper, of course.

17:30: Freshen up to get ready for church.

19:00-20:00: At church. (Lesson: God's only begotten son in the flesh). After church, a friend told me that I had reduced in size. Hahahaha.

21:00: Catching up on social media, working on an E! Online Ghana post, study for the next day's quiz. Writing plans for the next day in my planner.

21:38: Skin routine, then jump to bed for some leisure reading.

22:40: *clap*clap* Lights out!
It was a good night.

But this has been the most uninspired day of the month, I guess.

Do you have to "A Day In The Life" post, I would love to read it.
