Help with French homework!

Does this make sense? “Quand je me lève en le matin. Je me déshabille et douche.” Or is it “je me douche”?

A simple “je me douche” should suffice

Yes, but with the way that I’m doing it (I have to use 10 reflexive verbs for some homework and it was easiest this way,) should I use a “je me” even though I’ve already used it for the previous verb or can I drop it (as I’ve done in my first example)?

you could say something like this if you want to drop it:
…Je me déshabille et douche ensuite. (To say that you “undress and take a shower afterwards)

simply dropping it is fine, but ensuite makes it explicit as to when you shower

Here is my (somewhat) complete paragraph, where are the mistakes?

Quand je me lève en le matin. Je me déshabille et je me douche. Après, je m’habbile. Puis, je me regarde en le miroir et je me souenir de dois je me brosse mes dents. Après, je me promene à l’autobus. Toutefois, parfois je me fâcher à ma mere, parce que elle se moquer de moi, et je rate l’autobus. Puis, je me promene à l’autre autobus stop.

1.)Sounds good as it is already.
2.) First sentence should be a comma(,) not a period.
3.)Added ‘aussi’ also to make it sound more natural.

Thanks a lot! My teacher is the kind who likes to put you on the spot and make you look stupid if you look like you don’t understand what she’s saying and it’s 11:30PM where I am, so I’m going to bed. Thanks again.

All right, I’m french and i found a few mistakes you might want to correct before you hand this in…This is your paragraph:
Quand je me lève en le matin, je me déshabille et je me douche. Après, je m’habbile. Puis, je me regarde en le miroir et je me souenir de dois et je me brosse mes dents aussi. Après, je me promene à l’autobus. Toutefois, parfois je me fâcher à ma mere, parce que elle se moquer de moi, et je rate l’autobus. Puis, je me promene à l’autre autobus stop.
And this is how it should be:
Quand je me lève le matin, je me déshabille et je prends ma douche. Après, je m’habille. Puis, je me regarde dans le miroir et je me souviens que je dois me brosser les dents. Après, je me promène en autobus. Toutefois, parfois je me fâche car ma mère se moque de moi, et je rate l’autobus. Puis, je dois me rendre à l’autre arrêt d’autobus.
Hope you read this before you miss your bus…and i hope this helps.

I was going to say the exact same thing. :) I started to write, then figured that I should read the responses first.
