> Get dressed. Brush your teeth. Try to brush your hair. Fail to brush your hair: it can not be tamed. Go downstairs. Eat breakfast. Brush your teeth again. Shout a goodbye to Dad. Wait for bus.

> Board bus. Sit in usual seat. Get to school. Sit through boring classes. Eat lunch with friends. Sit through more boring classes. Board bus. Get home. Greet the Dad on the couch.

> Fail to get much sleep.

> Rinse.

> Repeat.
