what's the difference between the four?

después (de) = after, afterward
antes de = before
entonces, luego = then/next
finalmente = (obvious meaning)

In my Spanish class, we were taught a sequence where "entonces" is used as the first word of a sentence and "luego" is the first word of the following sentence.

Me despierto a las cinco y media de la mañana pero me levanto a las seis de la mañana. Después, como desayuno porque quiero desayuno. Después, me lavo y me cepillo y después, me visto para la escuela. Salgo de la casa a las ocho o a las nuebe de la mañana para mi clase de español.

It is better to avoid repetition when telling a story as it becomes boring. Although it is not incorrect, try to vary the vocabulary. You have two "de la mañana´s" and three "después´s". Do you really have breakfast before washing, brushing your hair and dressing? I have altered your story slightly, trying to keep your original context. Also as a last point "cepillarse" can mean to murder/kill so you need "el pelo" to follow "me cepillo".

Me despierto a las cinco y media de la mañana y me levanto media hora más tarde, a las seis. Antes de tomar el desayuno me lavo, me cepillo el pelo y me visto. Al terminar el desayuno, a eso de las nueve, salgo para asistir a la clase de español en la escuela.

I wake up at 5:30 in the morning and get up half an hour later, at six. before breakfast I wash, brush my hair and get dressed. On finishing breakfast, about 9:30, I leave to attend my Spanish class at school,

Hope this helps.
