1. Primjer pozitivnog dana 1. An example of a positive day

Moj dan je bio super. Ustala sam se oko 8 i doručkovala. Dobro sam spavala budući da nije bilo jako vruće. Za doručak sam imala jaja i slaninu. Dok sam doručkovala, gledala sam i TV. Nakon toga sam otišla nazad u sobu, upalila glazbu i sredila krevet. Zatim sam sjela za stol i napisala sve ono što moram danas napraviti. Lista je bila poprilično dugačka. Nakon toga sam zatvorila dnevnik i provjerila obavijesti na mobitelu. Već je bilo oko 9 dok sam sve to napravila. Oko 11 sam planirala otići do grada i kupiti potrebne stvari. U gradu sam susrela staru prijateljicu pa smo odlučile otići i na brzinsku kavu. Kada sam došla doma, skuhala sam ručak. Odlučila sam da ću napraviti tjesteninu s povrćem. Jako je bilo fino, a i svidjelo se ostatku obitelji. Nakon ručka sam imala 4 sata slobodno, pa sam odlučila prekrižiti još jednu stvar sa popisa, a to je bio odlazak u teretanu. Živim blizu teretane, što je i prednost. Kasnije sam se prošetala s prijateljem. Bilo je jako zabavno. Zatim sam došla kući i odlučila sam se opustiti uz kupku i omiljenu knjigu. Sat vremena poslije sam otišla na Face-Time na prijateljicom, bila kratko na mobitelu i otišla spavati.

My day was great. I got up at 8 and had breakfast. I slept well since it was not really hot. For breakfast I had eggs and bacon. As I was having my breakfat, I was watching TV. After that, I went back to my room, turned on music and made my bed. Afterwards I sat at my desk and wrote down everything I have to get done today. The list was quite long. After that, I closed my journal and checked notifications on my phone. It was already 9 as I did eveything above. Around 11, I planned on going to town i buy the neccessary things. In the city, I encountered my old friend so we decided to grab a quick coffee. After I came home, I made lunch. I decided that I’ll make pasta with vegetables. It was really delicious,  and the rest of the family also liked it. After lunch, I had 4 hours free, so I decided to cross out yet another thing from my list, and that was going to the gym. I live near the gym, which is also an advantage. Later on, I went for a walk with my friend. It was really fun. Then I came home and decided to relax by taking a bath and reading my favourite book. An hour later, I Face-Timed my friend, was for a little while on my phone and went to sleep.

2. Primjer negativnog dana 2. An example of a negative day

Dan mi je bio užasan. Sve je pošlo po krivu. Ustala sam se na lijevu nogu i ništa nije ispalo onako kako sam planirala. Sinoć sam zaspala jako kasno. Gledala sam seriju koja je bila prezanimljiva. Nije mi bilo žao sinoć, no danas je. Zakasnila sam na predavanje. Vani je jako hladno i ne da mi se izaći iz kuće da napravim bilo što. Ono što je bilo najgore danas je to što sam prolila kavu po knjizi koju sam čitala. Nadam se da će mi ipak dan biti bolji kasnije, a ako ne, sutra je opet sve novo.

My day was horrible. Everything went wrong. I got up on my left leg and nothing ended up being as I planned. Last night, I fell asleep really tired. I was watching a TV show which was too interesting. I wasn’t regretting it last night, but today I am. I was late for my lesson. It’s very cold outside and I don’t feel like going outside my house to do anything. What was the worst today is that I spilled my coffee all over the book I was reading. Hopefully my day becomes better later, and if not, tomorrow is everything new again.
