7:30
With class at 8:30 I usually set my alarm to go off at 7:30. IǃÙll usually get out of bed around 8:10. With the progression of the quarter, the importance of chemistry lectures has dwindled, so IǃÙm not too concerned with being late. Not that IǃÙm destroying the class or anything, I just got a little too confident for my own good. Breakfast is usually bread and peanut butter but I have cereal if IǃÙm lucky and have milk around. I tried Grape Nuts and water once. DonǃÙt try Grape Nuts and water.
After that I shower and change. Then I head to class. If I actually get out of bed when my alarm goes off, IǃÙm ready around 8:00. If thatǃÙs the case, I go online through the daily set of websites and then I check my email over and over and over. This takes about forty minutes. IǃÙm usually later for class if I get up at 7:30 because I feel no sense of urgency, and I also feel like rewarding myself for getting up on time.
11:30
IǃÙll save the details of my classes for some other time. For now, hereǃÙs a summary: itǃÙs boring. Surprise! Sorry to ruin it for anyone still in high school. College years might be more fun, but itǃÙs not because of academics. I promise.
I eat lunch and then I do homework. This means I open up a textbook, watch TV, check my RSS feeds, and check my email over and over and over. Usually I can convince myself that a nap is necessary for my personal health.
IǃÙve been practicing, and IǃÙm actually improving my nap skills. IǃÙm trying to perfect the 20-minute nap. When IǃÙm really on top of my game, I can set my alarm for 30 minutes, fall asleep within 10 minutes, and get up refreshed. Otherwise, I go for the 50-minute nap with a one hour timer. I have trouble getting up with this time length. A few times, this has resulted in me waking up at 6pm, seeing the night outside, and confusing it for 6am.
3:00pm+
Sometimes IǃÙll do homework and actually do homework. ItǃÙs awesome that I can never find anything to watch when IǃÙm genuinely bored, but then I watch two hours of a Dog marathon the day before a midterm.
I eat two or three more meals before sleeping. Dorm food is good the first eighty times you have it. I managed to get tired of BLTǃÙs. And I love bacon like a fat kid loves bacon. Sometimes, I sit on our balcony and reminisce on the days when I used to enjoy eating downstairs.
