Herbert woke up sweat bathed. As he looked over to his alarm, Herbert deactivated it. The alarm would normally begin ringing in about one hour. Even trough Herbert woke up an hour early and he didn't slept well, he did not complain because looking down his bed that was wet with sweat he knew that taking a shower was not optional.
The young men went in to the bathroom and opened the valves for the shower and waited for the shower to turn warm. In the mean time he brushed his teeth. As the water got "warm" he finished his teeth five minutes already. Herbert thought that he should do something about it.
After the semi warm shower he got to his wardrobe. He planned exactly what he wanted to wear. He wanted to wear his suit with tie and his black patent shoes. While dressing he looked out of the window and saw that it was a sunny and warm day.
As soon as he got dressed Herbert went down into the kitchen for breakfast. His mother Sylvia greeted him with a friendly "Good morning Honey what do you want to eat?". "Good morning Mother just some cereals but i can prepare them myself" answered Herbert. "No i don't know how long you will stay here before you go out into the world and i also don't know when i will see you again so for the time being i gonna serve you." His mother argued. "Ok but i don't know if i will pass the test or if the military is gonna take me." Herbert answered.
"Yes but you could go away and i don't know when or if i gonna see you again, so please let me spoil you a little." she said holding back a tear.
Herbert sat down and said "Ok ok one bowl of cereals please." His mom smiled again and answered "Yes right away Sir!" She hinted on the fact that most Interpreters in the Dominion corps get the rank of lieutenant.
While eating he thought if he should walk the way because it was a great day and he was early anyways. Herbert decided that he would walk. Even through he thought that his mother was a bit anxious he knew that he maybe in some weeks wouldn't have the chance to take a walk in his home town.
After the young man finished his bowl he said good bye to his mother and tried to leave the house but was stopped by his mother "Do you want that i drive you to school?" she asked but he explained the situation to her.
On his way out he noticed that he nearly forgot his smartphone and his keys so he turned around and went back to his room searching for his mobile and keys. Herbert found his mobile in an instance but for his keys he needed five minutes. They were in his trousers from yesterday.
Going back down he thought that he should learn to take care of his stuff because he couldn't be that distracted in the military. So he said by to his mother again and went out ready for the test.
