coffee mug

A day in the life

I’m becoming moreΒ accustomedΒ 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.Β 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 Β 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 Β 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 πŸ™‚

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

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

A bad habit and weekend pictures

(First and foremost… HURRAY! The internet is back in my house!!)

******

I have a bad habit. I really, really like to pick the skin around my nails. Until my fingers bleed and are raw.Β Gross and unattractive, I know, but I can’t stop! I have surprisingly never gotten an infection.. hmmm.

*******

Enough of being gross. I need to show you pictures from this weekend! Friday was spent at school and then I picked up food for the family from a new local cafe.Β 

Saturday I went to work with Jimmy from 7:30a.m.-12:30 (pictures of SNOW in the last post!) and then we headed to West Virginia in the evening to go out to eat and shop at a hunting store. It was quite fun!Yes, that moose was once living. Crazy! The whole store had taxidermy animals ALL over the place as well a LIVE aquarium, LOL.

Jimmy bought me a cute little coffee mug so every time I drink out of it I can remember our fun evening πŸ™‚Β The drive back from WV to PA was 1.5 hours and I had to pee the WHOLE time! Luckily I passed the time by being a DJ and dancing to music like a crazy person while my boyfriend just drove and laughed at me.. good times πŸ˜‰

Sunday was filled with church, Panera bread and a 5k costume race!

I’m going to recap the race sometime soon and give an update on running. I feel like running was such a big part of my blog in July/August and it somehow dwindled away, haha. I suppose i’ll have an explanation in the next post πŸ™‚
