I'm used to getting up early
Today I've been studying such a structure as "used to". And in this little fiction story, I tried to use this structure in all the ways I could imagine. Hope you can point out the mistakes.
When I graduated from university and got a job, I couldn’t get used to getting up early. “I can’t get used to getting up early” - I was saying to myself every morning on my way to work. With such a thought in my head, that I would never get used to getting up early, I worked about half a year continuing to go to bed very late.
I thought there wasn't a more terrible thing in the whole world than getting up at 7:00 until our office moved and I had to get up even earlier than before. It was time to do something about the problem. I really liked my job and didn’t want to lose it, so I took a piece of paper and wrote these words on it:
“I will get used to getting up early. It’s just a matter of time.”
I put this paper on the wall in front of my bed and each time I woke up, the first thing I saw were these words. They cheered me up and after a while, I realized I was getting used to getting up early.
“I’m doing this! I’m getting used to getting up early!” - I said happily. With my new habit of going to bed early I noticed some positive changes came into my life. First, I slept much better and started feeling much healthier. Second, I got extra time in the mornings so I didn’t have to hurry anymore when I got going to work.
Now I’m used to getting up early. Completely. And this has made me a different person.0 votedMarch 19, 20181- what is the correct collocation? Please, help me find the most natural collocation.

- youtube subtitles Will you be so kind as to check if I correctly transcribed a video on this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhfOC-mYM7s I'm gona show you guys in this magic wall animation what can happen to you. You may remember last year I actually went on a project "unhealthy". In five days I gained eight pounds. In five days I actually became hypertensive, developed high blood pressure. I don't even want to know what was going on inside my body. America listen up! This is what you're doing to yourself I did it for five days I felt miserable, I gained weight. I put my body in jeopardy and it wasn't worth it. You know what? I'm never going to do it again. Why did I do it? To prove a point: when you eat these foods it causes an addictive pattern in your mind. But in the end all you end up is overweight, lethargic and not feeling good about yourself. This is me. So, what happened when I ate a fast food meal? well something very simple. The contents enter your stomach. And I'm gona circle some of the contents that I call some of the killer contents in food. Sodium. These are fat molecules. These are refined sugar molecules. No big deal, right? Well it is a big deal because when they hit your stomach, good things start happening, believe it or not. That's that dopamine release in your brain because dopamine and serotonin are going wild. You feel great: "Oh, my gosh this tastes wonderful". It does, right, for the first few minutes. But things are also going on inside your body that aren't so great. Your pancreas is secreting more and more insulin to deal with that massive sugar overload from the fries, from the white bun, from the soda. Insulin does one thing - it drives sugar into cells. But it does something else - it tells your body to store fat. Why else would you eat a meal that big, and that many calories unless you are about to go into hibernation? That's what you do when you hibernate - you grow a big belly. That (that) fat that you see here those fat cells actually grow in size. They start to secrete even more toxic substances leading to heart disease, diabetes and so many other things. All that sodium causes your blood pressure go up, so your heart's beating twice as fast against twice as much resistance. And in your brain you are no longer releasing dopamine but instead your brain is signaling you to release cortisol. Cortisol is a chronic stress hormone.October 24, 201500
Spain 2015: first impression
Hi everyone!
Here is the second post about the trip to Spain this year. I’m going to share some things we noticed during the first days after arrival.
We arrived at the only Barcelona airport “El Prat”. We landed on time and after quite quick passport control we already waiting for our baggage. The first thing that surprised me was that there are almost no free Wi-fi in the airport. I say ‘almost’ because when your gadget finds wi-fi network, it says that you can use wi-fi for free for 30 minutes [only]. But in fact I think that about half of passengers from our plane couldn’t use even these free 30 minutes because the connection did not establish for some reason.
Even though we arrived in Barcelona we cannot estimate the charm of this city, so the fist impression was made by Salou town where our hotel was located.
Salou seemed to us a typical resort town. There are almost no any historical places of interest. The most popular place is a long avenue along the seashore.
After checking into a hotel we went out to find a place to have dinner. Note: while planning our trip we intentionally didn’t consider dinner in a hotel restaurant (HB board basis) because we supposed to enjoy local cafes, restaurants and to plan our day with no worries about skipping the dinner time in the hotel restaurant. The first impression regarding local restaurants and cafes in Salou was really bad. Almost every restaurant has a special person who is persuading you to come into their restaurant. They are trying too hard inviting you. Anyway this fact was not the worst part of the situation. The most unpleasant was that quality-price ratio wasn’t as high as it might be expected. We dislike average quality of food and services in the local restaurants: almost every meal included fries and you couldn't choose another side dish at the same price or just not to pay for this part of a meal; tableware might be dirty or broken etc. After all food seemed to us not delicious enough although we were in some of the best rating restaurants on tripadvisor.
Standard attributes of the rest on the beach were fine: Spanish people were very welcoming; seashore was clean enough; temperature of the sea was comfortable.
After looking through many tours we made sure that there are lots of places of interest near to Salou. This fact could significantly reduce overall influence of minor issues that might happened during the trip.0 votedOctober 9, 20150
