One occasion when I got off extremely early was a few months ago when I went on a trip to Samarkand with my family. Normally, I wake up at around 7 o’clock, but on that day I had to get up at 4 in the morning. The reason why that we had an early flight and we needed enough time to get to the airport and check it before departure. The night before I packed my clothes and other things so in the morning we only had to take our bags and leave the house. I was with my parents and my younger brother. Everyone was sleepy because it was still dark outside and the strips were almost empty. I remember drinking coffee and trying hard not to fall asleep in the car. To be honest, at first I felt really tired and a bit annoyed because I hadn’t slept enough. However, after some time I became excited because I was looking forward to the trip. In the end, I actually enjoyed that morning because it felt unusual and memorable. If I had a chance, I would again visit that extremely fun situation.

One occasion when I got up extremely early was a few months ago when I went on a trip to Samarkand with my family. Normally, I wake up at around 7 o'clock, but on that day I had to get up at 4 in the morning. The reason was that we had an early flight and needed enough time to get to the airport and check in before departure. The night before, I packed my clothes and other things, so in the morning we only had to take our bags and leave the house. I was with my parents and my younger brother. Everyone was sleepy because it was still dark outside and the streets were almost empty. I remember drinking coffee and trying hard not to fall asleep in the car. To be honest, at first, I felt really tired and a bit annoyed because I hadn't slept enough. However, after some time, I became excited because I was looking forward to the trip. In the end, I actually enjoyed that morning because it felt unusual and memorable. If I had the chance, I would visit that extremely fun situation again.
