Anna Of Byzantium

Original Paragraph:

When I woke up this morning, I could see through my window-slit that the winter sky was dark. I dressed in my rough robe and pushed open the door to the long, dim hallway. The stone floor was cold under my bare feet as I walked to the refectory door, where the sisters lined up in their gray habits. We filed in, in silence, as usual, and sat down to a meal of porridge and milk.

Now I am going to do an imitation of this paragraph:

When I woke up this morning, I could see throught my large window that it was still dark and cold outside. I dressed in my blue jeans and my orange t-shirt and pushed open my small door to the stairway. The carpeted stairs were warm against my feet as I walked to the kitchen where my little sister rushed around doing chores. We sat down, at the table, as usual to a meal of cold cocoa pebbles.

I like the sensory detail in your paragraph, Katie. The carpet and the Cocoa Puffs especially caught my attention.
