Hello everybody! I am Soumya Thomas Mathew from@stm.
First off, thanks a lot to Poorwa for agreeing to collaborate with me! We both agreed to do a ‘Day In My Life’ post, chronicling everything that we did on 8th July, Thursday, and then publish it on each others’ blogs. So that’s why I am here! Visit my blog- Soumya Thomas Mathew ; to read Poorwa’s day in my life post!
I got up at 6:30. Then the basic things [brushing etc. obvious]
Played piano for a while- 6:45-8:15. I didn’t do much. Just went over the first few chords. Then went over the coffin dance. I love it. huhu. You guys know it right? That meme song. Then I learnt the intro of ‘still with you’ by Jk of BTS. I learnt them both from youtube tutorials.
half of the keys are sunken
8:15-8:30-nothing. Just roamed around.
8:30-9:30-1st class- History. We finished French Revolution. I really love 9th grade history. For the first time, history is my favourite subject. The chapters focus on one thing at a time instead of being all over the place [like 6,7,8].
9:30-10:15- breakfast.
10:15-11:00-2nd class-PE. Lol. PE? huhu, yeah, we have online physical education classes. Sir explains how to do exercises and plays some follow along videos. I exercise atleast 4/5 times a week. I enjoy working out. But today morning I didn’t. So I did during PE. I have finally understood how to do sit-ups properly. Before it felt like my neck was gonna get abs pretty soon. But now I don’t feel any pressure at all. I can do 30 in one go and I think its my fav exercise these days.
11:15-12:30-I tried to upload a science assignment. Notes. I had transferred the photos to the pc yesterday[it took an eternity]. We have to upload in pdf format only. So I tried using an online pdf converter but it made 21 different pdfs’ instead of one. I tried to merge them but the computer got stuck. I tried again through other sites but got irritated and left it. Then I did a bit of math before the 3rd class.
12:30-1:30-3rd class. It was science. We started a new chapter- Tissues.
1:30-2:20-Lunch
2:20-5:15-study. I did take two breaks in between. I don’t think I was very focused. I did some hw, then tried to figure out what math ma’am had taught the last day by watching yt videos.
I put on music while doing maths or mindlessly copying notes. I have noticed that the speed of my writing increases and decreases along with the pace of the music. Anybody can relate?
5:15-6:00-cleaning. My moms’ back is in a bad condition. So she can’t do chores like how she used to. Now also she is the one who usually does everything, I help her, but it’s not sufficient. And there’s not much I can do in the kitchen. I broomed the upper floor and the kitchen and folded some clothes.
6:00-7:00-tea. Yes, it’s very late for tea. [I think in foreign countries people eat dinner at 7:00]. It is late but that’s the time my parents come home from work. Mother at 6:00 and papa at 7:00. They don’t feel like eating dinner straight away. I make tea for them, and on most days for myself too. [Fun fact: I am the best at making tea at my home. My parents say so.]
7:00-9:15-math tuition. I have maths tuition on Thursdays and Saturdays. I am not weak at math, it’s just that I don’t practice. And if you don’t practice you get weak at it.[lol]. I don’t like math but we all have to do it anyway. With maths I need an extra push otherwise I don’t do it. So since I am in 9th now, It’s high time I start practicing. I myself told my parents to please put me in tuition to get that extra push cause apparently my sister teaching me is not doing the trick. There is just one other student with me so the teacher has to focus on both of us only. Also she teaches very well and makes sure we both have understood. She’s ready to repeat it like 10 times. She’s very patient.
9:15-10:00-dinner
10:00-10:30- Just lazed around. Watched a few dance practice videos and study vlogs [I LOVE watching study vlogs. Anybody else like me? My sister says it’s very boring].
Then I slept. I usually sleep late around 11:00-11:30. I am happy because now it doesn’t take me 1 and a 1/2 hours to fall asleep[I have checked the time]. I noticed I have been falling asleep pretty quick since the past few days.
Overall, I think It was a good day, though I didn’t get much work done.
That was a day in my life. Hope you all had fun reading it! It was an honor to write on Poorwa’s blog. Make sure to go read Poorwa’s day in her life on my blog- [here]!
