A Day in the Life

A Friday in the life of Amanda starts dark and early. Beep! Beep! Beep! Snooze. I lift off the covers and feel the cold air seeping through my skin, I turn over and stare at the clock. 4:45 am. I jump out of bed, brush my teeth and grab a t-shirt and some nikes. I slowly walk to the kitchen and fill my water bottle and grab a towel. I ask my mom what the weather is outside and if it is below 40, I grab some gloves and slip some leggings on. I sit waiting on our couch till two cars pull up  our driveway around 5:15. I'm out the door to run with my mom's friends. We run about 5 miles around the neighborhood  then grab our waters. We take a quick cool down by walking down the block, then I grab the newspaper and go back inside. It is around 6- 6:15. I throw the newspaper on the counter and turn on the griddle.  I take two thin slices of bacon out of the refrigerator, pull of the noticeable fat and slice them into small tiny pieces. I grab a plastic measuring cup from the top cabinet and pour 1/3 cup of egg whites in the cup. I pour the cup on the griddle and sprinkle the bacon on top. After the omelet is done, I eat it at the table.  I run to my room to take a shower, brush my teeth and get dressed before school. 7:15, Hurry up, Erin! I throw my school things in the trunk and climb into the passenger's seat of my sisters silver lexus. Then I go to school for about 8 hours and leave the hill around 3:30. 

After school, my mom rushes me to my voice lesson, which is at 4. We never make it on time. After the 30 minute lesson a run to the car. I check google maps to see the best route to precision. I power change in the car into my cheer clothes and I'm dropped of at Precision around 4:55. The class starts at 5:00. We run 4 laps around the gym and warm- up. Then we stretch do two back- bends then take a quick water break. After the water break we start drills which usually include, handstands, back handsprings down the mat and etc. After we take another break and start running and standing tumbling, and then we have a 5 minute cool down. After Precision, my mom takes me home and I take another shower. Around 7 we have dinner and every other week my grandparents come over and eat with us. When they are gone, I lay out on the couch and watch all the shows I missed, like Modern Family, Glee, The Middle, Awkward, and more. Around 10 or 11 I turn off the TV and lights in the living room, brush my teeth and go to bed.

  4. Amanda,

    Your blog was great. I loved the details in every thing you do. It really made me feel like I was you. One thing that I noticed that was funny is that you are always like "Hurry up Erin", when we are at school. Keep up the good work.

    Happy Bloging,
    Annie Kramer
