I did a day in my life post last semester and I thought it would be cool to do another one for this semester. So far, this is what a Monday looks like for me!
5:00am – wake up: I grab a bowl of cereal with soy milk and a cup of coffee asap. I just hang out quietly because no one in my house is awake except for Lily. Lily and I play around for a few minutes. [Note: I seriously eat cereal for breakfast every day! Occasionally I will have a bagel + peanut butter or a bowl of oats, but I love cereal… a lot.]
5:30am gym time: I leave for the gym around 5:30 and get there around 6am. I usually do one of the following activities: run, life weights, swim, take a spin class. 6-7am workout and then drive home.
8-10:30am: I spend this time showering, eating a second breakfast + more coffee, reading my Bible, finishing last-minute school work, packing a lunch for school, and reading blogs. I’m still loving iced coffee, even in January!
I leave for school @ 10:30am and get there around 10:50am.
11:00-11:50am Spanish II: This class is scary to me. I have it 3x a week- on Monday for 50 minutes, and on Tuesday + Thursday for 1 hour and 15 minutes. I didn’t take Spanish I… I just jumped into Spanish II. We’ll see how this goes the rest of the semester ;pCute face? That is how I look in Spanish class.. confused and stuff!
11:50-12:50 lunch break: I usually pack my lunch to save some $$. My favorite sandwich is peanut butter and jelly. I also try to pack a vegetable, snacks like granola bars, and a drink.
1:00-1:50pm Fitness Theory: This class is with one of my favorite teachers and I’m going to be learning about fitness all semester. Happy.
2:00-2:50pm Creative Writing: Creative writing is interesting thus far. The teacher is really into poetry and I’m not. I’m excited to write a lot though!
3:00-4:15pm News Media Ethics: I have had this professor for 3 semesters in a row and I know how he teaches his classes. I like communications classes (that is my major), but this is a 400-level course reserved for seniors. I’m a sophomore, but I got into the class and I hope to just keep up and do my best!
4:15-6:00pm evening activities: I drive home, walk Lola, eat dinner, and start on homework that is due the next day. Lola gives me “the look” and we’re off! Walking my dog is one of my favorite activities EVER. [Note: Lola is a put bull-lab mix, adopted from a shelter and she is such a sweet dog<3]
6:00-9:00pm more homework or relaxing: If I have a lot of homework or studying to do, I’ll work on it until 8:30. If I don’t have a lot of school work I will just hang out with my family, watch TV, have a snack, or blog.
9:00-10:00pm bed time: I love going to bed early and sleeping as much as I can. Lola usually jumps up on my bed and snuggles with me as I write blog posts 🙂

That is a typical Monday for me (so far) in the new spring semester!
Packed day! You have lots of classes in a day! Do you have some days completely off?
Yeah, Monday is such a packed day for me as far as school goes. I actually don’t have any days completely off… it stinks! I have 1 class on Tuesday and Thursday, and since I commute, it feels like such a waste of gas! So I try to stay on campus for little things like meeting with teachers, studying, etc. on T/TH ;).

Wow your schedule is packed! I bet that fitness theory class is amazing 🙂 and I love Lola’s pre walk “look” haha
I loved reading this! It was fun to follow your day step by step!
Wow… that’s a crazy busy day with all those classes, and they sound like tough classes too. You should really share some of the stuff you learn in fitness theory in your blog, I bet we would all be really interested :).
I too love iced coffee but it’s a little warmer here so we can drink it year-round and not feel weird. And I totally admire how you can get up so early and go to the gym, I really fail at going before work!
I took a creative writing class once! My teacher broke it down where one half we did poetry and the other half short stories. It was a nice mix for everyone!
That is such a good idea! I should recommend that to my teacher 😉

Sounds like you’re busy and having fun! I’m so envious of your creative writing class. I’m busy writing right now, but I’d love to be back in school again!
AHHH. I love it. I have to take Spanish as well this semester like I said and I’m more nervous than anything. Your day looks fun though and you look so cute!
I’m so impressed you get up that early. I am doing well to roll out of bed by 730a!
They still use that Dos Mundos book?! I could have sold you my college copy. 🙂
WOW Allie, talk about a full schedule!! You go girl!! I dont know many college kids who wake up at 5 am…good for you! haha
Busy day! Like Julia said, not that many college kids will get up that early. That’s awesome that you are that dedicated. I normally don’t need to wake-up until 7-8 and I still find it difficult!
Phewww woman you are busy! I like to wake up early, but 5 would be wayyy too much for me. I would crash about halfway through the day. I am envious you are able to do it!
Lily is so darn cute!! she would be SO DISTRACTING for me!! but in a good way! 😀
so jealous of all the furr babies you have around!!
that day sounds like fun!!!
Lily is sooo cute!!!! I love the pictures! I always pack my lunch! Makes me feel good about my savings account!
Yay for fur baby pics and iphone mirror pics!! Great start to the new year! Good work Allie!
Looks like you have some busy days!
