per a delightful request of an un-named sister-in-law (haha good thing i have two!), i shall document a day in my life. hmmm the question is WHICH day!? lets do wednesdays:
8:15- alarm goes off. i push snooze a million times until...
8:30-finally i roll out of bed, and have given myself 45 minutes to get ready for the day.
8:30-9:15- shower/basic self-maintenance, struggle with indecision about what to wear and how to do my hair, a quick gathering of books for the day, double pat pockets to make sure i have my key/ID, grab my phone and wish my roomies a nice day.
9:15-9:30-grab a coffee if the line at Commons isn't long, head over to the gym for chapel (if it is a lucky day, i meet cousin jonathan), find my seat. Yes, i have a seat. it is predictable and the same. and with the risk of a serial killer reading this and finding out exactly where i sit for chapels and sniping me, its on the right-hand side, second set of bleachers from the front, four rows up.
9:30-10:15- song worship, chapel speaker, quick hellos to friends on our way out (we're hearded like cattle at the end...and i think if someone yelled "FIRE" it'd be a perfect example of mob-mentality and i'd probably get trampled cuz of my shortness. needless to say, i have never yelled "FIRE")
10:15-12:00- I hang out, do homework, grab a bite to eat if i feel so moved...to be perfectly honest, i always want to go back to my room for a nap, but it never really works out like that...
12:00-1:15- Stats class. ugh. this is the epitome of terrible in my day. well its mixed feelings cuz i sit with some fun kids. so this class consists of half-listening, teaching myself the problems, passing notes to the kids to my left or right and laughing at the dumb baseball boys and their immature humor haha.
1:15-1:30- i walk from McNally to Sutherland, either with a friend or on the phone. or FAKE on the phone...but thats in case i'm passing someone i don't want to talk to, i just pretend to be in the middle of a super deep conversation so they feel bad for doing/saying anything more than a simple nod or wave in my direction. its foolproof. then when i get to Sutherland I talk to Liam. he's my friend. our classes are right next to eachother. he helps me with spanish homework sometimes. which cuts it close cuz...
1:30-2:45- Spanish! y me gusta este clase mucho. we do lots of talking in spanish...always good in a language class. My profesora likes me a lot and calls me "Susana." I have good friends in that class, and i love the language so good times all around.
2:45-7:00- this is my biggest gap of time EVER. besides when i sleep. I am normally pretty hungry at this time, cuz if i didn't eat before stats...i haven't eaten all day. but I don't want to eat at 3, cuz then by the time all my friends want to eat dinnner, i will have already eaten. *sigh* So i grab a fruitsnack pack from my room, gulp some juice, and maaaybe have some honey-mustard pretzels (i just had to re-type that word like 4 times to get the correct spelling...). Anyways...i do my homework for my next class and find a friend to have dinner with. then I head over to Business 207
7:00-9:50- Criminology class! WOOHOO! this is why i picked wednesdays...so i could tell you about my favoritest class and profesor EVER. She's a Probation Officer (what I wanna do) with kids in LA. we basically sit for close to three hours talking about crime, gangs, punishments, laws, and lots and lots of stories from her and other classmates. its amazing. i ask lots of questions. cuz it fascinates me to no end. pretty ridiculous =)
10:00-12:00-If my teacher isn't too tired, me and another girl will chill afterwards and talk about life, relationships, the job, the stress, the joys of life...everything basically. I was included in this talk inadvertantly a few weeks ago, and i am so blessed by it! I love Miss G (my prof) SO much. she's super awesome and real.
12:00-who knows when- I go back to my room, get ready for bed, eat some more random food, talk to the roomies about any random experience...or not so random. sometimes i just talk about whatever... if i have hw due the next day, try to work on it, check email, facebook etc...chat online and then fall asleep with my phone out texting one of two friends. (we enjoy late-night texting haha)
There you go. thats my day. tis wonderful, and i love it. Wednesdays are my fav!
any questions, let me know...i'll be here all week...actually year. well forever if we're being completely candid. love.

Enjoyed this post a lot. It was good to get a glimpse into your day. Thanks sis-in-law for the idea! You are a gifted writer...are you sure you don't want to go into that field? You would have to learn how to put caps in your sentences though :-)
Well, once a home school mom, always a home school mom? Jane, I'm trying to get over the IM/text/facebook style writing too! But once I caught the story, I forgot! Good for me! Moving out of the mothering mode in one more area! Darling post, Suz! I do love talking to you on Wednesdays...because you're always so up! Actually you're up most days, now that I think about it! Diminished drama, increased focus and vision and steadiness...I love who you are and who you're becoming! Now...go take on the day!
Yay! I am finally commenting on this. I feel like a crummy SIL for making you do this and then not commenting.
I like that you drink coffee.
I hope there never is a fire and you never get trampled.
Your days sound so full of people and fun and food... and the occasional homework/class when it can't be avoided.
Your teacher sounds like an absolute Gem.
I MISS YOU!
p.s.
I bought you a present (of food stuffs) but i've started eating it... :(
