routine
i've fallen into a whole slew of routines down here. they help keep me going, keep me organized, but don't prepare me for the unexpected. here are a few of them
mornings:
MWF- snooze alarm until 6:30. get out of bed, eat breakfast, take vitamins, jump in the car to the bike trail, bike to campus
TuTh- Same as above, except jump out of bed right at 6
days:
lab. class. lab. bike home- study, eat at some point, shower. i've been trying to work lifting back into my schedule, and have also recently rekindled my passion for swimming (of all things!), so i'll be doing laps at the pool this winter.
nights:
study, talk to friends online, harrass my cat and be harrassed back. put on the same shirt, same pj shorts, brush my teeth, put on deoderant (yay prescription strength antiperspirant- it seems kind of backwards to put it on at night, but all i know is that it works). set the alarm- time and song for the AM, jump into bed, and wait for the phone to ring (it doesn't). fall asleep, eventually.
i need some breaks from this. the monotony is driving me crazy right now. it's echo-y and very quiet out here, and right now it's very very stressful. i wish i could take a day off from all of this, but i'm not sure what i'd do with myself- i want to be in the lab, want to do my work, but don't want all this stress attached to it. i have so much to do this week, and i'm also waiting on doctors' prognoses for my uncle and my mom. i have to clean this place (the mess is stressing me out too), but never have the energy when i get home.
