A Day in the Life, by Liam

Dad´s alarm clock

Me & Yomar, mi profesor

El campo de fútbol

My dad usually wakes me up around 7am. The roosters wake him around 5am. Good thing I'm a sound sleeper. It is a little cool at night I sometimes wake up with bug bites. There is about an hour and a half to get ready for my lesson. For breakfast, Yajaira gives us a galleta with jam on it and some fruit, like fresh pineapple, banana, or papaya. My dad drinks coffee.

My teacher, Yomar, meets me at 9am. We go over verbs, and how they go with different subjects, like yo, tú, él, nosotros, and ellos. We do regular verbs like hablar. comer, and vivir. We do irregular verbs like ir. We talk a lot about new words and what they mean. He makes me do conjugation of verbs for different pronouns. Yomar is the brother of Juan Ramon, our host.

After the lesson, I usually go home and read or play with Monchito until lunchtime. For lunch, Yajaira makes a drink called refresco natural, water with fruit juice. She usually makes something with beans and sometimes rice. After lunchtime, I get to read or play baseball in the road with Monchito and the other boys: Mario, Gabriel, Claudio, and sometimes Juan Ramon. Juan Ramon has a big hammock I like to lie in when it's hot.

In the afternoon, I have class again with Yomar. at 3pm. We usually don't study so hard, but he shows me around the town. At 4pm, all the boys in the town go to a field where there are two soccer goals and we play for an hour or two. The older boys play baseball on the same field.

Then we go home and play some games like tag or sit in the hammock until dinner. Yajaira usually gives us some gallo pinto (beans and rice together) and a tortilla. Also she gives us a drink called Avena, which is oat milk, kind of like horchata. After dinner, the adults watch the tv, a program called "La Fantasma de Elena." Then I get bored and leave. Then we have bible time, hyung time, and time for bed.
