I just wondered how you all like to start your day? ....

I have my own little idiosyncratic routine .... first, getting up .... a monumental task .... there is no sound worse than the sound of an alarm clock! .... it makes you're heart sink and chills the blood .... so, roll out of bed, then make bed, tidy house, have shower, but on make up, do hair ....

but then comes the joy of my morning .... a half hour for breakfast, (usually cereal and a mega mug of strong tea .... bliss!), and watch either "Friends", "Everybody loves Raymond" or some other American comedy show on Channel 4 .... and while the commercials are on, I flip over to BBC1 and read the news headlines on teletext, then back for the rest of the show, iron clothes and out the door to face another hell of a day! ....

if I sleep in and don't have time for this early morning ritual, I am literally hell personified .... a class A nightmare for the day! ....

Basically, my one hour rush from bed to school precludes me from any form of entertainment at the start of day. I am not very aware of the fact that another day has started until at lunch and to be frank, like everyone attending school, the day starts only after school ends, which is sometimes 1800 at night.

But technically, if you ask me what I usually do in the morning, I would say, most of the time I am awakened by the radio-clock. It is only minutes when I will find the hosts in the radio programs too annoying that I will switch the radio off immediately. I then switch on my modem (this step is skipped if I have left the computer on for downloading the previous night), turn on my computer and check for new downloads at bulletin boards and queue them up neatly so that I can have them running before I leave home for school. I will then take a very simple breakfast, get a large cup of instant coffee (without it, I won’t be awake), occupy the washroom for a while and then flee home at the speed of light.

I really love to start the day downloading. You get the feeling that something is working at home while you are doing stupid things at school and that time is not wasted.

Hi Guys,
I think the best way to get up in the morning is firstly, (and slightley obviously) I get out of bed. Get dressed and then turn on some music. I mean, nice, loud heavy metal. Of course, you have to respect the fact that others might be sleeping so maybe an mp3 player, but if u can I like to listen to it out loud whilst I drink a warm cup of tea whilst watching the sun rise of the distant mountains from my bedroom skylight. It's beautiful, relaxing and is something u can never get bored of. Thanks guys, Sean Webber (alive).

I hate alarm clocks! They wake you up after a really nice, warm night, and make you face the hard, fast world again..
Getting out of bed is a nightmare for me. I just can't make myself trow my legs out of it.. Really annoying, cause I miss my train many times because of that I'm not really a morning person. Not that I'm sulky and stuff, I'm just a little bit late everywhere But it has a positive side also, I'm really fast in doing my hair and make-up and stuff, because I have so little time in the morning I had to learn to do it fast
But anyway, when I'm finally out of bed, I put my clothes on, do my hair, make-up etc, eat some cornflakes, hurry to the train and hope I'm on time at school

I just automatically wake up at the same time everyday- about 6:30 am. Earlier than everyone else in the house, I like having that little bit of time to myself. I walk out of my room, turn on the computer and then go in the bathroom to brush my teeth and 'stuff' (Too much info!) then when I get out I sit down at the computer and check out my email. Most days I will go in the chatroom on my message board and talk to my favorite person on the internet. He lives in Australia, so it's night time there. We talk until he has to go to bed, which is about the time I have to get up and do chores and "real life" things.

[leiaah]

I usually set my cellphone's alarm clock two hours before I leave for school. I occasionally have breakfast or whatever is left from it because my mother leaves the house for work at around 8 and so she eats earlier. I don't have to go until 10 am so I take a bath at around 9 then I eat, I groom myself and since the school campus is only a few meters from where we live, I leave the house 10 minutes before my first class of the day and I usually arrive just on time. That's it, no weird habits

[sonyguy]

On a normal, boring school day, I wake up at 7:45 to prepared to go to school at around 8:55.

I don't usually get out of bed until around 8:00, it's hard to get up straight away!!

Anyway, after that hugeely difficult task, I go downstairs and prepare breakfast, usually some fruit (I'm healthy ), thn I eat it while looking at either friends or everybody loves raymond, lol.

I'm usually done by about 8:20, then I go upstairs, wash, change into my uniform and gussy up ready for school by about 9:50.

Then, I'm in school by 9:00 at the latest and I'm usually woken up then by all my friends screaming in my face "HIYA"... lol

An ideal way to start my day: getting a wake up call from my favorite person instead of an alarm clock, morning routine, then a big breakfast in the school dining hall. Hearing "good morning" from another person is the best way to wake up happy.

[icylady101]

Hmmm... good question. Well I guess the best way I think I can think as my best way is firstly in the previous night sleep early. I wake up early in the morning. Take a nice warm shower to get your muscles going and to freshen up. Then I go into the kitchen and make myself two slices of raison toast(if any, or else white bread). Then I sit down and enjoy my toast with a nice glass of orange juice (preferably 100% orange juice with no added sugar). After that, if I woke up early enough I could then pack all my necessary books and stuff for uni. Then I either try my luck at running to the Uni or catch a bus but mostly I catch a bus, it doesn't make me tired and also my back wont ache if I was running with, say.... three text books in my bag?!
And then my day would proceed as normal.
Well, i try to start my day of as healthy as possible but sometimes I'm in such a hurry to get to class, I just grab my books and bolt out of the house!? Well i's not my fault that I'm occasionally lazy, right?

[romy]

good question I wake up at 5.50 to prepared to go to school at around 6.30 wit a train. About at 6.00 AM i go for 10 minutes on computer se4arch if any new torrents on the net.

When i come in the town i must first get a coffe or something to wake up tottaly I have usualy about six hours School per day. I come home arount 2 PM.

[Danieluchis]

I usually start my school day (monday to friday) this way:

I wake up at 6:30 in the morning and wait lñike 5 to 10 minutos waiting to my brain to "start functioning" xD then i get up and change my clothes or take a bath (these last part just in case i haven't bathed the anterior night) then i turn on the TV and see MTV while brushing my hair and getitng ready (you know make up and that girl stuff) then i go downstairs and make my breakfeast (usually and chocomilk) and then i organize my books, homework and all that stuff oh! and i make my homework if i didn't did it before n_n, then i just go upstairs again and turn off the TV brush my teeth and rush to school =)

[elevenmil]

Wow, I really don't have a morning routine. Everyday is something different on the schedule, so I wake according to my plans. I'd like to wake up at a certain time everyday to get into some kind of organization, but every night I seem to fall asleep at different parts of the night. That troubles me because once I graduate from college I'll need to have some kind of morning routine, otherwise I won't hold my career position too long.

[Revolutionary.]

I wake up at 6:00AM to my alarm clock, I brush my teeth and take a shower. I run to get dressed and if I'm lucky, I can watch TV for 15 minutes before I have to leave at 6:45.

I really want to go to a new school, where I can wake up later... Oh well, only one year left until I switch.

The summertime isn't much different, except I'm just not going to school, rather some other place.

[Microsoft]

i have to start mmy day with boring school >.< wake up at 7:30-7:45 and have to be at school at 8:30-8:40 >.< i dont eat brakefast, first i take a shower then i change, brush & comb teeth and go to school >.<

[FLaKes]

I really dont have a routine. Mainly because I just finished school and I am just going to school because they offered me a part time job from 12 to 4, and from 4 to 8 Im doing my social service hours. (here in Mexico you have to complete 900 hours of service to open universities.) Which Im about to finish in about two weeks.

Ok, in the morning I like to wake up at about 9. I get up with the television, I program it to turn on at that time. Usually on Mtv channel but if I wake up to a bad video which actually seems to happen all the time I immediately start changin the channels for about 5 minutes or so and then Im up off from bed. When I get up I start doing some stretching and after that I do some excersise. (abdominals, pushups, weights, etc.). After exercise I like taking a cold shower and after the shower I get some breakfast which is whatever my mother makes and then Im off to the University. You might be asking why I get up so late but the reason is because I usually sleep like at around 2 to 4 in the morning working on music, learning tutorials, animating and sometimes playing mutliplayer games. Well thats my routine right now. I wonder how its going to change in a couple of weeks when I finish my social service.

[crapoartworks]

So how I start my day... well, I basically wake up in the noon-afternoon. I hate mornings, so I skip that and go straight to lunch and stuff. I hop onto my computer, and play a few games. Sometimes they get boring so, I build my own computer games and I mess around with html and javascript to see what I can do. We just got a new treadmill so I walk on that sometimes often while listening to music. I am pretty much a night owl because... well, I have dial-up so no phone rings and cuts me off.



Yeah, thats about it. I am a night-owl computer geek.

[iwuvcookies]

As much as I would like my day to be like a celebrity having a butler to bring you breakfast in bed and all, I don't. lol.

My routinely wakeup consist of sitting or propping myself on the wall for support. During this time I may go back to sleep or get out of bed. Depends on my mood at that time. Usually I"m sleepy. So I just fall back to sleep for maybe a few more minutes. I get out of bed if that's the case and brush my teeth. Usually I take my brother to school first and then come home and brush my teeth. I pick out my clothes, put on some socks, and spend a few minutes gathering my school things. I don't eat breakfast in the morning. Even though i should, but unfortunately I don't. Maybe I'll grab a handfull of cereal and put it all in mouth and that's breakfast. lol. Not what you would imagine but thats how it goes in the morning with me. I don't make my bed or anything like that. I don't have the energy. I'll do it when i come home.

[Saint_Michael]

how i like to start my day is after hours of being on the internet i go to sleep and then wake up eat watch tv play some games and then the internet.

[Anndi]

I get up around 6 to leave for school by 7 and arrive at 8. I get out of bed after lying in bed for five minutes after turning off my alarm, stretch, have a bowl of Cheerios and milk, a big cup of orange juice, shower if I have to, put on clean clothes, make a sandwhich, grab my 1L bottle of water from the freezer, back my rucksack, and head out the door. My cup of orange juice is like many people's morning coffee; I'd never survive the day without it! And likewise, if I get to school and realise I forgot to bring or do anything, my day turns terrible and I find myself wishing I could start the morning over!

[icemarle]

Well, I wake up at 5:00am, eat and take a bath. I usually do this slowly... so the moment I come out from the bathroom door, the school bus has come and I have to rush. I dress as fast as I can and I don't even have time to dry my hair! Whew... when I finally am on the bus, (I'm the first one to get fetched) I sleep. Even though I usually wake up this early, I'm still not used to it. I get drowsy often... But... I usually sleep at 9-10... I wonder why...

As for weekends. I like to wake up late and check out the downloads I've left running the night before. Then, if my mom didn't prepare breakfast, I cook some noodles or burgers, then, I spend the rest of my day doing stuff in the computer.

[epox]

my ideal day begins with my love(connie) kissing me, telling me i love you, and all that things she makes when we sleep together, she is my dream, i love her, and i belive i'll never get enough, i hope she always love me, and nothing, that's my favourite way of begin a day!

[shigajet]

Usually I would listen to the radio and/or watch the morning news while I have my breakfast, then on my commute to school by bike I plug in to my iPod shuffle. Of course, if the weather is not so crap it literally puts a damper on things, but still...getting out of the house gives me is a bit like an escape for me.

[sPo0k3s]

I like when the alarm clock goes off and i push the sleep button like 30 times and then after about 20-30 min i realize im running late and the sleep button isn't going to do me much good then i quickly get out of bed and get in the shower then get out throw some cloths and get what i need and usually its either school or work im going to. lol i find all the rush get your blood pumping and actually gets you up and ready faster, it also gets you and exrtra 20 mintutes in bed lol.

[ashiezai]

my favorite way to start my day ?? hmmm ... that is a hard thing to answer ... normally my alarm clock wakes me up .... and this is my way to start my day ... but i would like my love to wake me up in morning by kissing me .. and saying she loves me .. makes me a good breakfast ... and i think this is my dream way to start my days ...

[LeAnn Rimes My Angel]

The way I enjoy to start my day is like every other day. heh I wake up in the morning, take a shower, eat, get dressed, and leave the house to do whatever I have planned for the day. It's not very exciting, but I think it's the regular routine everyone else generally follows.
