A Day in the Life of Fahad
Beep, beep, beep, beep “Oh man, is it 7.30 am already” is what I say to myself in the early morning of an average school day. During an average school morning, I look, talk, and walk like a tramp. At 7.45 am I walk into the bathroom where I do my personal business such as doing my toothbrush, washing my face with soap and then either have a shower or have a bath when I’ve had a shower or whatever I go to the mirror and flex my muscles and comb my hair and if I have to put some hair gel on after I’ve done this I put some facial cream on to stop dry skin from attacking me.
When I get out the bathroom I run straight into my bedroom, I then put some spray on my body after this part of the morning I get changed into those things called a school uniform which all school pupils probably dread wearing, once I have successfully completed this I look for my shoes which I normally place beside my bed and place them into my feet and do up the shoelaces I grab my bag and motivate myself to carefully walk down the stairs and make sure I don’t wake my brothers up and go into the kitchen snatch the cereal box from my mum and with a mess pour it into a plate then get the milk out of the fridge and in the same way pour it over the cereal and then just eat it as I’ve never eaten in my life before…When that horrendous scene has gone past I say all my goodbyes and get ready for what I say an ‘assault course’ because I on my way to school I go in and out of muddy areas. Every time I walk to school I have to go to the shops because I get tired and out of juice and once I’ve got my energy back I start walking faster and when I reach school I go straight into my form room with a big bang on the chair which shows how much effort I put into walking to school.
If I get late for a lesson my best excuse is that “Miss, everyone came late to registration and when they came they all started messing around, and by the time we got our registration done, everyone was already 5 minutes into their lessons.” This master excuse always works for me whenever I am late for a lesson. Today for the first 2 lessons I have English, then I have got break time, then the second 2 lessons I have Science and History and for the last 2 lessons, I have got RE (full course) and Business Communication Systems. For some strange reason, the first 2 lessons go awfully slow and so do the last 2 lessons. In the last lesson, everyone is tired and can’t wait till the home time, at this time nobody talks and all you hear is tick tock tick tock and then when its time to go everyone cheers and go running to their cars or wherever they go at home time. Well for me, I go to the school gates and wait for my friends and walk up to where we all split up one of my friends goes to the left, the other friend goes right and I go straight up ahead, once I get to the shops, I would always get a packet of chewing gum and a bottle of Fanta Fruit Twist which is my best drink.
When I get home my mum would prepare me a cup of tea with some biscuits, after this small feast I run back into my bedroom and get changed into something more suitable for me and go get my very thick jacket, the reason I take this jacket is that everyone is bound to get hit with a stick by the mosque teacher either for not reading properly or talking to a friend, I go mosque to read the Qur’an and learn about Islam and read Urdu too. After the mosque, I go to my friend’s house and play out till about 8.00 pm when I get back from my friends house I come home and eat some chappatis and some drinks to go with it. During my food time, I watch some TV and its normally Eastenders.
I then go upstairs and do all my school homework. After this, I get changed into my night-clothes and go to sleep. Beep, beep, beep, beep “Oh man, is it 7.30 am already.” If you think about school, it’s like a test, if you get it all wrong then you won’t get a good job, if not that then you’ll get nothing at all. So you have to accept getting up early and doing the best you can at everything even if you don’t like it.
