I just woke up feeling excited because It’s my usual day off. Looking outside from the window the weather is nice and sunny. My plan for today is to spend some family time and maybe go somewhere nice, where I can have fun or at least clear my head after a long week. It’s almost 12pm, and my family and I have decided to go out to Golden Gate park, the perfect place to spend some time with my family. I have brought my soccer ball with me to play with my dad and sister. Soccer is my favorite sport to play and watch but I have not played in a long time. It is almost 4pm and I’m feeling a little tired after playing soccer. Since I have not played for a long time, I got tired so fast, I had to take a break literally every 5 minutes, but it was fun. We are heading to Chutney, one of my favorite Pakistani restaurants in San Francisco to get some food. What I love about their food is the seasoning and spices which makes their food taste so good. It is 7:30pm and I'm on my way home, it was a fun and exciting day after all. Looking forward to this week and I feel ready for school to learn more.

After a long and busy week with midterm exams, it is finally over. Now I can take a break, and try to enjoy the day. I really needed this day to rethink a plan for the rest of the semester to find the right strategies to get back on track. Also, think about new learning strategies that would help me more to get the most outcome when the semester ends. I have planned and decided to go somewhere quiet where I can have some peaceful time to think and plan. I know these plans are not going to be for this semester only but plans for now and for the long term, so I can progress even further to get closer to my goals and achieve them. It is 12:13pm, and I have finally decided to go to Baker Beach in San Francisco. It is one of my favorite places to go for a peaceful time especially when it is not windy and nice just like today. I have taken my notebook with me to write some of the best strategies and plans that I think of while I am there. I am finally here at Baker Beach. The weather is nice, 70 fahrenheit, not windy, and better than I expected. It is almost 5pm, and I had a good time here at the beach. I have come up with some well planned ideas to help me get the most out by the end of the semester. Also, I came up with some strategies for the long term as well. I’m feeling extremely optimistic about these plans and goals and ready to execute in order to achieve the best results.

It is a new day, I just woke up feeling very optimistic after a long week. I’m happy that everything I have planned for last week was executed perfectly and everything went as planned. It is now 10am, the weather outside is nice and warm and the temperature is 75 fahrenheit. The perfect weather to go somewhere nice. My fiancé and I have decided to go to Poplar Beach in Half Moon Bay. It has been a while since I went there, in fact I can not remember the last time I went to Poplar beach. It is almost 12pm, and I'm on my way to Half Moon Bay. It is a 57 minute drive from home. I’m on the Cabrillo highway and the view is so beautiful. We are taking this route because it overlooks the ocean the whole way to Half Moon bay and it has less traffic. I’m driving slowly to enjoy the amazing view along the way, especially with the clear blue sky reflecting on the ocean water. I have finally arrived at Poplar beach, it is nice out here, and there aren't many people as usual. It is almost 7pm, and I had a good time at the beach. We played volleyball which was so much fun. After all it was a fun day, I had fun and cleared my head and I optimistically look forward to studying and improving this week.

It is 8am Saturday morning and I just woke up to the sound of the rain hitting my window. I love rain, especially when I don't have work or school. Since it will be raining all day, I think I am going to stay at home. Since I am staying at home and the weather is cold, I will be making some warm Moroccan soup called Harira. It is a mixture of chopped chicken, tomatoes, parsley leaves, cilantro leaves, celery, onion, chickpeas, lentils, rice, vermicelli, water and olive oil. For the seasoning I will be using salt, turmeric, pepper, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger. Harira soup is one of my Favorite meals, because it is very healthy and it contains many important nutrients. It is almost noon and I am nearly done cooking the Harira, just waiting for it to get fully cooked on low temperature. I am done cooking the Harira soup, it tastes so good, better than what I expected. The final touch to make the Harira taste even better is squeezing some lemon juice on top and mixing it to give an extra good taste. It is almost 3pm, I am working on some assignments and trying to get everything done. It is still raining heavily outside. I’m finally done with most of my homework and just sitting on the balcony watching the rain. I love watching the rain, it makes me feel relaxed at the same time I enjoy the fresh air during rain. After all, it was a good day. Even if I did not go somewhere, staying home was a good idea to relax and enjoy the day.
