Life is busy, especially right now. I have been going from five o'clock in the morning until ten or eleven o'clock at night five days a week, with usually full Saturdays with wedding planning and regattas, and by the time Sunday rolls around to start off a new week, I'm driving back from Huntsville or getting a smidgen of homework completed, and then the week races by again!
A typical day sees me waking up around 4:50, getting up at five to get ready for crew practice, arriving at practice about 5:30 and change, rowing for an hour and a half, not including warming up and other preparatory items, driving back to the dorm at approximately 7:45, showering, dressing for the day, packing my required books and notebooks, walking to work at 8:30, working until 10:45 (or 11:45, depending on the day), walking to class and meeting Stephanie en route, and attending anywhere from one to three classes. Then, again depending on the day, either a) eating a late lunch with Stephanie or b) going back to work, attending organization meetings, and finally getting back to the dorm as early as four and as late as seven. At that point, I have just finished up with scheduled events; no homework for classes, afternoon workouts for crew, or service for organizations has been begun, let alone completed.
Roughly, a week broken down into scheduled hours per activity looks something like this:
- Classes: 14 hours
- Work: 12 hours
- Crew: 10 hours
- Avanti: 2 hours
- Beta Alpha Psi: 2 hours
And with that, I bid you all a good night. I must recharge for all this activity at some point, so yes, as unlikely as it may seem, I do get to sleep from time to time!
