A parking spot was found soon as we arrived at our destination. Interactions: 10.45 I turned off my alarm and checked the time. I sat up and removed the covers before walking out of my bedroom and into the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and washed my hair in the shower. I then went back into my room and got dressed. I brushed my hair and gathered my things for school. I put my things in my bag and grabbed my jacket and hat. I left my room and shut the door. I walked down the hall to the kitchen and grabbed a peanut granola bar and a water bottle for breakfast, noting my cat was sitting in the chair near the window. I petted her head to tell her good morning, and then left the kitchen. I went into the living room to sit and eat while I waited for the carpool to arrive.
