Typical Day

May 16, 2017

A typical day for me is quite the same from Monday to Thursday. I generally wake up around 8 am to eat breakfast and shower before class. My first class on Monday and Wednesday is only at 11 am so I try to take the time in the morning to do any last-minute class reading or preparation that I need to do. On Tuesday and Thursday, I have class at 9 am so I go straight to class and work on any school work that I have during my three-hour break between classes. On all four days, I have class until 3:20 pm, after which I go home, have something to eat and do homework. I try to fit in a workout sometime between 6-9 pm for around 45 minutes to an hour as a break or stress buster. After dinner, which is between 8 and 9 pm, I either continue working or my friends and I plan to do something for the evening or night. The latter half of my day is more flexible and its routine is constantly changing based on the amount of work I have and the nature of work.

Since I am a morning person, I like to finish all my homework during the day, while the sun is out – either in the morning or right after class – since that is the time that I focus best. Naturally, some days call for late nights but I try to finish the bulk of my work during the day.

I am originally from India, born and raised in Dubai UAE. I am studying Environmental Science with a minor in psychology and Spanish. I chose to study abroad because I wanted to experience a new culture, travel to new places and in the process, improve my Spanish. While some people speak English here in Barcelona, the preferred language is definitely Spanish, therefore if I want to communicate with others, I am forced to speak the language, which will help me improve my conversational Spanish. While abroad, I hope to use Barcelona as a gateway to rest of Europe, say yes to almost all opportunities, try new things, eat new types of food and witness and be a part of new traditions and customs of Spain. I would like to come back and share my experiences with others like me who also want to travel the world and see the world from different perspectives.
