A day in the life | Living My Full Life

I haven’t done a “day in the life” post since last semester!

This is a typical Tuesday for me.

5:00 a.m. – Wake up, eat breakfast, drink coffee. Breakfast lately has been oatmeal and peanut butter.
5:30 a.m. – Swim or run or lift weights.
6:30 a.m. – Drive home from the gym, shower, have a snack, read my Bible.

7:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. Do homework and pack a lunch. I usually pack a tuna sandwich, veggies, and anything else that looks good in the fridge. I typically grab a coffee at school because I’ve become friends with the woman who works at the coffee stand. She bakes me cookies sometimes.

11:00 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. Attend COMM 270, which is a multimedia design class. We are working on making a website and it’s really hard because I struggle with technology.
12:15 p.m. – 12:45 p.m. Eat my lunch and drive to a local park about 10 minutes from campus to meet up with my mom and walk around the park’s pond.
12:45 p.m. – 1:45 p.m. Walk and talk with my mom. I love this part of my day! Afterwards, I drive back to campus.

2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. Work on homework on campus. Eat a snack. I usually eat a granola bar or mixed nuts.

3:00 p.m. – 5:40 p.m. Attend CAS 204, which is a communications research prep course. This class is pretty tough–I’m learning about different research methods for my senior research project next semester. The professor gives us a 10 minute break during the class to break it up a bit. I usually pee because I drank too much coffee all day.

5:40 p.m. – 6:10 p.m. Drive home. I’m so glad it’s daylight savings time now because I don’t like driving in the dark.

6:10 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. Heat up whatever my mom made for dinner and feast upon it. Sometimes if she’s busy or not home I “fend for myself” by heating up leftovers, cooking random things that I find in the refrigerator, or by making a sandwich.

7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Catch up with my family to see how everyone’s day was, do homework if I have the energy, read blogs, and cuddle with Lola.
9:00 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. Hit the hay. Yes, I go to bed extremely early. I love sleep 😀

I’m becoming more accustomed to the new semester at school so I thought I’d do a “day in the life” post for all you creepers out there. I looked back through my blog and saw that I did this last fall semester, last spring semester.

So, this is a typical Tuesday or Thursday for me:

6:00-6:30AM Wake up. I set my alarm for 6:30, but sometimes I wake up earlier. I’m a morning person through and through. My first thoughts are usually: wow I have to pee, I’m so thirsty, or I want breakfast. I’m pretty boring as far as breakfast goes… I have cereal, peanut butter, and coffee almost every single day.Random fact: I like to eat my cereal in a coffee mug. Moving on now..

I eat breakfast first thing and then get on with my life by reading my Bible, getting ready for school, and doing any last-minute homework or studying.

I usually wear awkward things. Like peacock shirts.

7:30-11:00 School and commuting. I leave for school at 7:30 to arrive by 7:50 and my first class starts at 8:00. If I’m feeling tired, I’ll buy a regular coffee with half and half from the cafe at school.

From 8:00-9:15 I have anthropology. I’m learning about humans and culture. It’s pretty interesting. From 9:30-10:45 I have conflict resolution. The class is about resolving conflict and it gets pretty heated (as in button-pushing conversations). I really enjoy this class too. After school I hop in my truck and head home.

11:00-12:00 Lunch. Yeah buddy! I usually grab something quick, like leftovers, and then I let my food digest for a little while while I talk with my mom about life and stuff (she works from home as a real estate agent for our family’s company).

12:00-1:00 Run time. I usually spend an hour either running or running and weight lifting. It just depends what I’m in the mood for and how the weather is looking. I try to get out on local trails.That is my “secret entrance” to a trail about 2 minutes from my house.

1:00-5:30 Afternoon funzies. In the afternoon I do as much homework as I can, have a snack, journal, and try to walk Lola if I have time (which I usually don’t on Tues/Thurs).

5:30-7:30 Work. I leave for work at 5:30 and arrive around 6:00 to set up all of the bikes (I’m a Spinning instructor). Class begins at 6:15 and ends at 7:00. I get home around 7:30. I really, really love my job!

7:30-9:30 Night stuff. After work I heat up whatever my mom made for dinner, finish any homework or studying, and just relax before I hit the hay. I love going to bed early 🙂

That’s pretty much a typical Tuesday/Thursday for me!

Bible verse of the day: Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. 1 Peter 3:8
