A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THEO.S

Every morning I wake up in my warm comfy warm bed, and I go eat breakfast. My parents are already there and they eat without me. Then I sit on the couch and read my kindle. I usually lose track of time, and it makes me be late. Then I walk to school, and my teacher welcomes me in the class and we do devotions. Then we go to break after all of our other classes.
At lunch break I go to my cabin and eat with my family. I am usually the first one there, so I start eating. When I go back to school I am late again even though I run.
After school I do my homework. Sometimes it takes me a long time, sometimes it doesn’t. Then I go to dinner and its African food on Tuesday, which isn't my favorite! I like it when they have pizza.

After dinner I go to my cabin and play video games. After a while I go to sleep on my own.
THE END!!!!!

When I walk to school I only walk 40 steps.

Me doing social studies.




At break time I go on the swings or play soccer.


At lunch I go home to my cabin.


Math class is long and boring.

A Day on the Ship

Early in the morning in my small cabin,
      I wake up at 6:00. When I’m finished brushing my teeth I
              Change my cloth and my mom brings food
     From the Dining room. After breakfast I pack up my backpack and
                   To school.

   When we go to school on the ship it’s a very short walk so you don’t
          Have to take a school bus. When we go in the big room we usually start   
      With devotions then go to our classrooms and read.  

       At the end of school we write in our planner what we have for home work
 And walk back in to our cabin. After that we eat dinner and when
  I’m finished I play video games.

A day On the ship

A Day On The   
   Ship
First I wake up at around 7:20 AM. I fell very tired and lazy and I want to go to sleep for five hours before I wake up again. Then I get up and see more than a thousand massive metal containers out my window as I walk out to my living room to get breakfast. Breakfast is very refreshing and tastes sooo good and I don’t really feel tired anymore. Then I get dressed very quickly feeling very nervous and rushed as my mom says “You have nine more minuets! “ As soon as I am finished I race to school. After four class periods school is out for lunch break from 12:00 to 12:55 PM. I walk down to the dinning room and I wait in the long line. I impatiently wait in the line eager to get the food at the end of the line. In the end I always get the delicious food and sit down with my family in the loud warm dinning room. At 12:50 PM I go back to school. I walk to school and wait outside the door in the hallway. When they open the doors I go in to my classroom and get ready for the next class. I usually have a ton of fun! After school I do my homework and on Mondays, Thursdays, and Wednesdays I do chores. Mondays and Thursdays I vacuum, and on Wednesdays I help with laundry where my mom signs out four laundry slots in a huge laundry room with ten washers and dryers, a big table to fold, and an assorted number of ironing boards. After homework I get ready for dinner at 5:00 PM. Then we go down to the dinning room and eat dinner. It is very refreshing after a long day and sometimes I eat and talk with friends. After dinner I usually go on the playground. I am very energetic and ready to play and explore. It is usually warm and smells like dried grass that was baked in the sun. And sometimes I find moths or other types of bugs. I usually feel imaginative and eager to play the millions of adventures all crammed into my mind. Then it is time to go to sleep. I lay down in my soft small bed in my tiny room that I share with my sister. It is usually hard to go to sleep but then after a while my eyes slowly get tired of being open and then my eyes close and I fall into a deep sleep. That is what a day on the ship is like for me .

A day in my life

On the ship I call home I wake up and hear the buzzing of the fan and the air vents. It is cold because the fan has been on all night. I have to share a room with my younger brother. While I get up I see the sea filled with garbage as normal.
            I eat breakfast in my cabin because my dad brings it up from the dinning room. Then after breakfast (toast) I pack my bag and walk to school. On the way to school I see the decks and the walls which is super boring to see every day.

            At school I learn and I walk back to my cabin to eat. After lunch I walk back to school where my six classmates and I learn some more. After school I walk back to my cabin where I do my homework. After I have done my homework I play wii until dinner. At dinner I grab my food out of the trays with the tongs now that I am ten and the ships rules allow me to serve my self because I am ten. I choose a table to sit at and wait for my family to come so then we pray and I can start eating not good but good enough food to eat.
            After dinner I put my plate on the racks for the dinning room to clean and after I have done that I go to deck eight to play. At bedtime I go down stairs to my cabin and take a shower, brush my teeth and tuck into my bed and try to sleep (I sleep on the top bunk witch I find better because I am higher than everyone).

MY DAY

a day in my life on the AFM





When I wake up in my small coldish   bedroom on the AFM I usually felt like we are rocking, I hear generators I then look down and see my sisters blanket s on the floor. Then I go to the living room and eat breakfast that my dad brings up from the dinning room. Some times its pancakes or cinnamon rolls, but usually I have cereal.   My living room smells like apples because we have a “candle”, we have a fake one because w e aren’t allowed to use real ones. After that I get ready for school, when I am ready I just walk down a deck and sometimes go to devotions. Next I go to my   4th and 5th grade classroom, I am in 4th grade. I only have 6 other people in my class and that’s the biggest in Elementary, all together with all the elementary its 16!! Then I go to break, at break I usually do jump rope but there are also two swings and soccer. After school I do home work or after school activities like recorder and hand bells, also piano. Then I go to dinner, while a wait I a longish line I   hear a person or two talking to some one in their language to another person.  After I get my dinner I go and sit down and if it is someone’s birth day they ring the bell and we sing, at the end we hit the table. Then I go home or go to deck 8 or just play. Then after a long and exiting day I go to bed ready for the next day.

A Day in My Life

             
I wake up in my comfy bed in my small room that I share with my big sister. At breakfast I eat in the cabin usually cereal occasionally oatmeal or pancakes. I walk twenty steps with my brother to school. I am in fifth grade there is sixteen kids in the elementary and seven in my class. In our classroom you can hear the air conditioning and some times the ice machine. Our school is small and fun. There is no cafeteria so at lunch we walk back to the cabin and my parents get food from the dining room then they bring it to the cabin. We usually have grilled cheese sandwiches. After lunch I take out the trash I go from near the back of the ship to near the front then I go down the gangway then back to the back of the ship but on the dock I throw out the trash and go back to the cabin. Then I go back to school. When I come home I do my homework. Then I eat dinner in the dining room it is crowded. After dinner I play then I read. Finley I go to bed and that is the end of my day.

A Day in the Life

Every morning when I wake up I’m on a ship and I’m in a small room in a small bed. I have to force myself to get out of my warm bed into my cold cabin. I take a few steps into my living room and sometimes smell something good like cinnamon buns or pancakes, but usually just cereal or toast. The food for breakfast can taste good but usually not. I walk up one flight of stairs to school.
          My school only has 16 elementary kids. Some of the kids have been in school on the ship with me forever. When I’m in school or anywhere else on the ship I can hear overhead announcements, pagers going of and lots of screaming kids around me. I go to my cabin to have lunch with my family. I’m usually excited to eat but it is only rice and meat. I can feel the sticky rice and the chewy meat go down my throat and into my stomach. As I eat I can feel the rumble of the engine beneath me.
          Now I make the 30 second walk back to school. After school I practice hand bells or recorders with my music teacher and my friends. Sometimes I just  go straight to my cabin to do my long boring homework. Sometimes I will hear the fire alarm go off when I go home. It isn’t a real fire it is only a drill says the captain over the ship wide page. So everyone goes onto the smelly muddy dock and waits for the fire drill to be over.
 Occasionally when I go to dinner I smell something good like pizza or hamburgers but just an African meal is all I smell. After dinner I either swim in the pool or jut play on the deck. If I am swimming in the pool I ca hear the loud waves hit against the edges of the pool or feel the cool water splash all over me. If I’m just playing on the deck I feel the muggy air and see lots of little bugs flying around. Soon I go inside and go into my warm bed and wait for the next day to come. That is a day in my life.
