My Weekday Morning

At the ungodly hour of 5:55, I wake to the sound of my iPhone's ringtone. After I let my self stay in my warm sheets for three minutes, I slowly drag myself into the bathroom. I flick the light switch and I cringe at the sight of the bright light. I begin to let the shower run; as I wait for the water to warm up, I fill my cup and pop my retainers out of my teeth and quickly give it a quick brush. Swooshing the Listerine out of my mouth, I hop into the shower. Two minutes later, I swing the Kohler shower door open and I step onto the ice cold cermaic tiles that cover my bathroom. I take a quick look at the clock hanging from the far wall, 6:04. I force my self to walk upstairs and make breakfast for myself. I throw a scallion pancake into the pan and I left the oil heat up. After I get dressed up, I hear the crackling of the oil from the pan and I quickly flip it over to prevent it from over-browning. I quickly devour the scallion pancake and I sit in front of my computer until my ride comes. That, my friend, is my ungodly start of my day.

  1. Nice job Cam :) I enjoyed reading this because it was so descriptive and gave me a sense of your grueling, ungodly morning. It seemed well phrased and didn't seem awkward in it's word choices. There weren't any grammar mistakes that I picked up on. It left me wanting more though. It left me with the question, what makes your morning so ungodly and awful to wake up to? It also seems like a great opening for a story were the audience will be introduced to the main character. It was detailed and interesting. What is a scallion pancake anyway?
