Morning schedule

Monday through Friday, I get up at 4 in the morning and take the first metro at 5:12 to work. The early schedule is to promise the show time of 9 p.m. in China, which was 9 a.m. in DC and 8 a.m. after the daylight saving time ended. 

The Capitol building in dark becomes a familiar view of my daily life. If you know me, you will know how night owl I used to be. But no any more! I try to go to bed before 10 p.m. to avoid passing out at work next day. 

World definitely changed with my brand new schedule. I can't say if I like the change or not, but it definitely feels strange. Here are some glimpses of the changes:

1. Nightlife.
No more, since the nightlife activities in most of the bars usually start at the time I have to go to bed. 

2. Food.
I don't know how I am supposed to schedule my meals, so I just eat wherever I feel hungry, which has been proved to be quite often. Usually, a pre-breakfast after shower around 4:30 a.m.; then a breakfast after the show around 9 a.m.; an improvised lunch at any time during 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.; lastly, an surprised dinner accordingly before going to bed. Above all, most of the food are frozen junks, as there is only a microwave/toaster/oven thing instead of a regular stove.

3. Exercise.
Yoga with TV trainers at 6 p.m., and jogging at weekend. This is a good change, compared to  the frequency of twice a month before.

4. The off of the work
Time seems pass faster under a schedule like this. By the time of noon, I can call it a day!

For better or worse, the internship will be ended in a month.
