this must be what being responsible feels like
desired weekday morning routine:
- shower and put my laptop away in the evenings before
- climb out of bed and dress at 0800
- sit over a cup of tea and something to munch on for half an hour, with nothing else to occupy my attention
- head out the door for class at 0900 with time to spare
actual weekday morning routine:
- go to bed without preparing anything, since i think i can get away with it just this once
- roll out of bed at 0840 because it takes just under 20 minutes to get to campus, and half-asleep me thinks it takes 0 time to do everything else
- open my laptop, which was sitting out on the table asking for it, to check the internet
- realise that it's 0855 already and think that if i'm going to be a little late to class, i may as well be a little more late to class
- get something to eat, failing to relax in so doing
- observe that it's 0920 and decide that since i'm missing much of class already, and the lecture is about stuff i already mostly know, i may as well miss all of it
- lounge around for two hours, like i'd be able to do in an ideal world, except with more feeling shitty about it
i only have the one class this semester, and i'm paying part-time tuition for it, which somehow makes me feel even more that i have to give it my all. it's also due to start getting interesting soon, and i'd like to have a working routine nailed down before that happens. waugh, the guilt.
hmmm. anybody have any tricks to share?
