Observations: 13.22 The carpool arrived, and I got into the car. (time starts now) I said hello to my friends but mostly sat quietly in the passenger seat. They talked about the new kittens they got and the funny things they do. As we were going down the road we got stopped by a light for a few seconds. I could see the college from there, but our class was a bit farther down the road. We continued down the road and finally turned into the parking lot. A parking spot was found soon as we arrived at our destination.

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.
