One Day
The warm sunshine reflected on the bed, and Cindy slowly woke up from her sweet dream. She went to the bathroom to brash her teeth. She usually drinks a cup of tea in the morning but choosing different flavor from time to time, because she thinks drinking tea is a good habit to start off a fresh day. Today, she kindly selected the “Longjing” which is a type of Chinese tea. Approximately a year ago, Cindy’s favorite morning drink was the homemade Green Tea Latte. However, she started to drink “Longjing” because it came from her hometown.
She dressed in a casual way without putting on makeup and she looks clean and pure. A lot of stuff were messily left on the table because she studied late yesterday and did not have time to untangle them. Her goal for this semester is to receive “A” for all her courses. Ten minutes later, she began to clean up her table and continued to study some problems which she could not figure out last night. Unfortunately, solutions still could not be found out but she did not forfeit.
She also has another routine habit which is going to gym every morning. This habit keeps her body fit and healthy. Because her friend’s birthday today, she was going to meet her friend at the Chinese restaurant “Hakkasan” for lunch which mainly serve “Huaiyang” style Chinese food, a type of food comes from their hometown.
After friend’s birthday lunch, she rushed back to school because her class would start at 3:50. During her class, she carefully took notes on her laptop. After class, she tried to go to Korean Town to meet her friend for Korean BBQ which was her favorite food except Chinese food. Because it was the rush hour during a day, she had to fight for a bit of space on a crowded subway. After two stops, the train arrived at 33th Street subway station, and she followed the crowed to leave the station.
After a delicious dinner time with her friends, she started walking back to her apartment by herself. She went to check her mail box while waiting for the elevator. She pressed “FL23” button in the elevator, and the elevator ran relatively slowly today because she just could not wait to get back inside of her apartment. Her apartment could provide her with a beautiful city view. As usual, she laid on the sofa and looked outside of the window after a nice shower. Everything was peaceful. Even though Cindy often thought about her hometown and her family members there, she still enjoyed every moment in this city.
