The start of the day for your teacher

During the week my alarm always goes off at five thirty in
the morning, I sometimes snooze for another ten minutes but
usually I get up straight away. Normally I have toast with
marmalade for breakfast but sometimes I choose porridge
instead, I always have coffee though. I leave the house
between six twenty and six thirty and drive twenty minutes
to drop my son off at school which opens at seven oclock.
The traffic at this time of the morning is rarely busy so I
almost never arrive late at his school.My school is only two
kilometers away from my sons so I usually arrive just after
seven oclock. The first thing I always do when I enter the
school is say good morning to my colleagues and then pour
myself a second cup of coffee. Then its normally time to
prepare the lessons for the day and always make sure I give
100% attention to my students.

Now, its your turn.
