And then He bestowed upon her a type A personality
I've had this written in my iCal for a while as the template for what I wanted my days to look like:
drink 3 and 3/4 bottle waters a day. (at least 2)
Jay Gatsby's Daily Schedule:

Be better to parents
Why I wanted my schedule to be modeled after Jay Gatsby of all people I have no idea. I've always had this need for orderliness (in schedules and, to do lists, and clean rooms etc.) I comes to the point where I can't function if I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing. I guess it's somewhat of a good thing because being a neat freak I'll always have something to do (clean my room!) I just feel that I need some type of stability. I've had Gatsby's schedule for a while. I'm always trying to better myself and I guess the way I feel I can achieve that is to know exactly how to do things. It's like writing out directions for success, even if it only works as a placebo.
My days don't really look like that though. Classes are really the only source of uniformity. There's a lot of room for laziness - without which I'd go mad! Hee!
