Day in the Life #4

Happy Wednesday! I hope you’re enjoying your week so far. Mine has been really good, but I have a math midterm a few hours after this is published, so we’ll see if that holds 😉

I thought today I’d show you a fairly typical Tuesday for me this quarter. It’s a little less crazy than my Tuesdays last quarter, but I still keep plenty busy.

6:50 am – My roommate’s alarm goes off. I roll out of bed at 6:53 and go wash my face and brush my teeth.

7:05 am – I head back to my room, brush through my hair, and put on makeup while scrolling through Twitter and texting a couple of friends. I realize this is not efficient at all, but I’m not in any enormous hurry.

7:24 am –  I make my bed. It makes me feel like I have my life together.

7:30 am – I lose any notion I had of having my life together by taking entirely too long to decide what to wear. If I wear workout clothes to class, I can go to the gym right after. But do I want to? I don’t know. I resolve the dilemma by wearing workout clothes in case I decide to go the gym. Fascinating, yes?

7:43 am – I head down to breakfast (part 1) and plan my day out and drink lemon water, which I love. No one is at the table because apparently it’s too early.

8:00 am – I come back to the room and eat breakfast (part 2) and wake up a little before class.

8:47 am – I leave for class and arrive at 8:54. Class starts at 9:01 and we talk a lot about Descartes’s arguments for the existence of God.

10:24 am – Class ends a little late. I’m talking to a couple other students and find myself wandering back toward the dorm. We discuss how mind-blowing this class is. We work (struggle) through the readings and argue in discussion and then walk out and realize that we just had fun. Crazy.

10:50 am – I decide to do a workout video in my room. Already wearing the clothes and such.

11:31 am – I shower and get ready and grab lunch before my next class.

1:03 pm – I turn in the paper for my philosophy class that’s due this evening and gather up my stuff to go to econ.

1:30 pm – Econ starts and we talk through a (very much condensed) history of economic thought.

2:50 pm – There’s a mad rush as everyone dives into various piles of graded exams. I emerge happy.

3:15 pm – I just walked back to my dorm to stretch my legs a little and check my mail (I’m bad about remembering to do this…), but now I leave again to head to my econ professor’s office hours. I really like going to office hours, whether I have questions or not.

3:29 pm – Arrive one minute early for office hours and pace awkwardly outside the office because I feel weird about being early. I actually go in at 3:30  and we talk about the exam and the class and the political/economic environment today. It’s fun.

4:15 pm – Another student arrives and tears into the professor about how he writes his exam questions.

4:22 pm – I very awkwardly duck out of the office because the situation is rather uncomfortable.

4:33 pm – I head back to the dorm, chat with my roommate, grab a snack, and check emails for a little while.

5:15 pm – I study for my math midterm and make my cheat sheet. I’m still in disbelief that I get a cheat sheet.

5:38 pm – Commiserate with a friend via text about writing papers.

6:00 pm – Call my dad to chat about our days for a little bit.

6:15 pm – I finish my cheat sheet. Honestly, I’ll probably find something else to add just to fill it up a bit.

6:35 pm – Grab dinner. Chat with a friend about  summer plans, writing papers, and our shared dislike for Aristotle.

7:00 pm – Head back upstairs and gather up my stuff for my SWS meeting. I also snag a handful of trail mix, since I won’t be back for a couple of hours and I usually would snack then or eat dinner later.

7:30 pm – SWS meeting. We talk about the state of the markets and then learn a bit about financial statements.

9:00 pm – Walk back to the dorm with a friend. Answer another friend’s questions about our math midterm. Start planning out my parents’ trip here this weekend.

9:34 pm – Finally sit down with my snack and start writing this post. Catch up on social media and blogs and such.

10:55 pm – Bed at last 🙂

Hmmm… tell me about your day?
