I wake up in my apartment to the chiming sound of my alarm at 7:30 am. My calico cats, Miso and Tofu, are cuddled next to me. I pet them, open the blinds, then do my daily Duolingo training to wake up my mind and prepare for my next foreign language exam, this time on Portuguese.

7AM: I wake up and make coffee on muscle memory, I let the dog out and sit outside with him for a while, taking in the new day. Once I’m fully conscious, I head inside to make breakfast – eggs and spinach, salsa if I have it.
