JUST ANOTHER JOURNALIST DAY.

I had a normal day yesterday. I got up at 7:30, I took the shower,

and dressed. As usual I listened to the morning news at the same time. I didn’t

have breakfast. I’m never hungry in the mornings. I made two cups of

strong, black coffee and worked for about three hours.

At noon, I realized I was late for an interview with an actor, so I drove

like a crazy to the TV station. I arrived at the TV station on time, but the actor

didn’t come. I ate a sandwich while I waited for him and talked to

some other journalists about the events of the day. From there I got into my car and

went to the office of the newspaper where I work. I arrived at the office at 1:45.
