I would just like to share that for the first time this semester, I actually came out of a class feeling excited and like I had learned something. And- better yet- I felt like I would keep learning for the rest of the semester. I'm even excited about starting my research paper for said class!
Yessss. The love of learning has returned. You had me worried for a second there, buddy.
3 AM: Bedtime.
10 AM: Wake up. Roll over and go back to sleep.
11 AM: Finally up and moving. Check email and create to-do list of homework for the week.
11:45 AM: Finish putzing around on the internet and straighten room.
Noon: Wakeup call to still-sleeping boyfriend, as requested. Foiled by lack of TMobile cell phone service on campus, especially in boyfriend's far-flung nearly off-campus residence hall. Give up after 5 tries; commence homework.
12:30 PM: Consumption of yogurt and cereal.
1 PM: Call from mother, et al. Discover that father's presentation to the entirety of church was awesome. Big smile.
1:30 PM: Put laundry in washer; return to homework.
2 PM: Put laundry in dryer; continue homework. Give in to the distraction of roommate watching FIFA world cup quarterfinals.
2:30 PM: Boyfriend calls around this time; promises to show up soon. Happiness that he has not been struck down by the plague, but was merely sleeping.
3 PM: Pull laundry out of dryer; fold; gather homework materials. Depart with boyfriend for that grungy site of studying and caffeine consumption, the student center.
3:15 PM: Begin agonizing over take home test for grad school class. Involves writing three "essays" in a total of 500 words. That's approximately 166.67 words per question. Great anxiety over proper wording; must be simple yet accurate.
6 PM: Dinner and a break from essay writing.
7 PM: Transfer study materials to a silent third floor classroom; continue agonizing essay writing.
9 PM: Bathroom break. Classroom containing laptop, cellphone, ID, keys, books, etc is locked upon return. Momentary extreme fear and desperate searching for building manager. Manager kindly unlocks door.
9:05 PM: Break to write a whiny, but hopefully somewhat humorous blog post.
