2nd C1 writing - Talking about habits

I am quite an odd woman when it comes to choosing clothes. I will plan what I need before to go shopping. Then I have a tendency to always go to the same shops, probably because, as a rule, I will find for sure what I am looking for. I am inclined to make this type of buying clothes probably as a consequence of a bad experience when I was young. Nine times out of ten I could not find what I needed, and I know myself very well and I am prone to being very disappointed with these situations. So now I keep on choosing my clothes by this way, and I will never be angry.

I was taught at a very early age on getting up at the first sound of my clock. I started to work with my parents in a restaurant when I was thirteen and then we got up at five in the morning. I love them for this habit, because I am always getting up early without any kind of difficulty, and I love starting the day before the rest of people do. Now, as a rule, I tend to get up at a quarter past six, I keep having a very complete breakfast before going out of home, and I will go to the swimming pool to swim one thousand metres. After that, I am always feeling in better mood to go work.

As a holiday planner I have suffered a big transformation after being married. When I was single and without compromise, too many years ago, I would spend a little time doing it.  Nine times out of ten I only bought a train ticket to start my journey and have a backpack as a baggage. I was always looking for new places to know and new people to meet. But now that is different, because my partner does not like this “adventurous” form of travelling, so we will spend time together deciding when, where and for how much time we will stay on holidays. We have a tendency to choose quiet cities, wonderful county towns or not very crowded beaches for our holiday. And, for sure, we go on holiday with the return ticket bought in advance, a thing that I had never done before.

I am always travelling on the metro when it comes to going to Barcelona out of a meeting. I will do that especially for my comfort, and also to save some money. I am inclined to be nervous if there is a traffic jam that could make me be late. I hate that bad habit, so I am prone to start my journey from my office to Barcelona with plenty of time. I will start by the train, because I live in a town near Barcelona with five train stations but it has only one stop of metro. Nine times out of ten I will arrive at my destination relaxed, with enough time to make a coffee and only paying, for now, 0,945 €
