diary entry 1
i woke up in my straw filled mattress, in which i shared with a few other family members. i got up and got ready for my day with farming.
i went up and woke everyone up for the day, then, since i was up, i grabbed the bucket filled with our pee, and took it to the closest river, which was only a 5 minute walk, and poured the liquids into the river.
once i was back and into the house my family and i shared, i walked in through the curtain that leads into the house, and saw very one awake about to go to there jobs.
i was dressed and equipped for my farming job, so i headed out to do my job.
my job was actually quite straight forward. all i had to do was fix the crops, collect the vegetables and fruits, and water all the crops. pretty straight forward, and simple, which i didnt mind doing the job anyway, but i didnt have a choice.
after about half of my day doing my job, i went back to the front where the owner of the land gives us some food. today he gave us a bread with a bit of corn and cabbage.
eating took about 15-20 minutes tops, and after you were finished, you'd go back to work for another few hours.
i did an extra hour, just so i could get a little bit more money, and then left to go back to my family.
back in our small house, my parents and aunties and uncles cleaned and cooked our dinner.
for dinner we had a simple dish of a piece of meat for everyone, a mix of vegetables, and milk that we got from our goat.
everyone finished eating within an hour, and within that hour, we all talked about our day.cleaning up the small house after dinner took about half an hour.
i was then ready to finish my day, so we all then fell asleep on the bed.

diary entry 2
i was awoken up by one of my family members telling me "its time to get up", in which i then got up and put on my clothes.
i was ready to go to my job, which was a servant for a lord, so i was walking through the curtains, but beforehand, grabbed an apple since the walk to the lords was 20 minutes.
walking and eating my apple was enjoyable, peaceful and quiet.
finally i arrived at the lords castle, in which i know the place like the back of my hand, and got to work.
i started with dusting the whole place, and then washing the clothes and hanging them up, then swept and mopped the floors, and did more until they gave us a piece of fruit and vegetable, then got back to working.
i worked for about another 5 hours until i got told i could go home for the day, they also gave me my money for the fortnight.
i grabbed the money, thanked them, then went on my 20 minute walk journey back to the place i call home.
20 minutes later and i arrived at the front of my house, and i walked in greeting everyone a "hello", "how was your day?" abad "hi!".
i didnt want to bother them too much because they were cooking and cleaning the house.
my mother called out "dinners ready!" for everyone to hear, so we all got our food, which was 2 pieces of bread and a piece of meat, with just a glass of water, while we chatted throughout the whole time, which was a whole 1 hour.
we all then cleaned our dishes and the rest of the house for 2 hours, and we all then got ready to go to bed, so we can refuel on sleep and get energised.

diary entry 3
i woke up by my mum waking my sister up to get ready to go to her work, so i thought i should save her time and just wake up.
i got up and got ready to do my chores since i didnt work.
once i was awake and ready to start the day, i went to the common room to start cleaning everything up. it took me a while to clean the room since it was always the hardest place to clean because everyones in there the most, so it took me about 2 hours.
i then started moving on to the bedroom, and folded all the spare blankets and fixed up the bed we had, and swept the floor a little bit. cleaning the bedroom took only half an hour or so.
i then milked out goat we have to get some milk, and then gathered up all the dirty clothes and went for the 10 minute walk to the closest river. i started washing all the clothes and doing that takes quite a while, so it took about 2 hours.
I then got out some vegetables and fruits from our small but convenient crops, and went inside to separate them to make it easier for the cooks. I also then clean my mess I made and put all the separated vegetables in a bowl together.
Everyone came home an hour later, meaning that we would have dinner soon, so I just chilled for a while until dinner was ready to be eaten.
We got called that dinner was ready now, so I went to where we eat, and helped them set up everything, and then once we were ready, I waited for everyone to be ready, and then we began eating. Dinner was always my favourite time of the day, not only do you gets to eat, but you also get time with your family and you guys can just talk about your day and things, which I find exciting.
We finished an 1 and a half later, so we clean all the dishes, and clean the rooms a little.
We then began getting ready for bed, so we got into the bedroom, and fixed all the blankets and pillows, then we all fell asleep.
