My typical day starts with waking up between 4:30 and 5:30 am. At this point my roommate is still asleep, so I do this as silently as I can. I creep around getting dressed and putting my charged electronics into my backpack (the loudest part). I have to make the daily choice of whether I zip my backpack up in the room or later; I usually do it in the room for convenience sake.

Leaving the room is the part I feel the worst about. The door opens sweeping to the left, so it shines hallway light on the right side of the room where my roommate sleeps.

Even when I think I’m in the clear–my stuff and I in the 7th floor lounge–I usually forget something (it’s usually my phone) in the room and have to go back.

When I’m finally all geared up and in the lounge, I can finally get to work. I try to write a schedule or to-do list the night before, so I can get to work immediately without having to get organized first. Today’s example is on the bottom. I’ve been getting used to using my ipad for this kind of stuff and it makes it easier to have pretty and organized notes and lists.

Today, my early morning tasks are my Econ quiz, blog, and review my CGT 105 ludology notes.

I usually have a really full schedule on Monday and not enough time to get food between my 4 classes and study group. It sucks, but I usually eat for the first time at 5:30pm on Mondays. Today is special though! I don’t have Econ today because of a midterm tomorrow and my french class is replaced by an sync. online exam. I’m planning on taking the exam in a study lounge near Freshens (compare to JambaJuice tm.), so I can get lunch before.

After the French test, I have one more class and then a special study group for ADHD people.

Reminders:

• ECON exam: Feb 8, in-person, 6 – 7:30pm (Supply and Demand, Equilibrium, Trade)
• FR exam: Fed 7, online, 11:30 am – 12:20 pm
