"A journey in a day":
1/21/2013 in class stream of consciousness (finished at home with an extra 20 mins)

Yesterday I did something that I usually don't do, I actually thought about what I did during the day. As per usual, I woke up at 4:45 a.m. hit the snooze button and went back to sleep for the next five minutes. Unfortunately, five minutes later I was on my way to the shower to take my bath and leave for my 7:00 a.m. class. I constantly keep thinking of how I seriously have to think about my schedule choices a lot more, these morning classes are really exhausting. 

Once I finished taking my shower I got my clothes from my closet, got dressed, brushed my teeth, put on cologne and finally said goodbye to my parents. When I said goodbye to my mom she said the same thing she says every morning: "call me when you get there, be safe, I love you." Seriously, if I wake up one day, and I don't here those words before I leave, something's wrong. Funny how a few words can be so meaningful and turn into a part of your daily routine. Once I said my goodbyes, I got in my car and left. At this point it was still 6:00 a.m. but I live far away from the UPR and this is the time I have to leave to make it to my class on-time. Of course, when I was leaving the driveway, I couldn't help but noticing that I put on the music in my car almost automatically, I barely though about it, I just DID it. That's muscle memory, I (as almost all humans do) have made it a natural action to put on my music  as soon as I get in my car.

The trip to the UPR was long and full of traffic, and nothing noticeable or worth mentioning happened on the way. So once I got there, I spent a good five minutes finding a parking space (7:00 a.m.) and I headed off to my first class, Psychology. During the class I sat in the same spot and did the same thing, listen and try not fall asleep. After this class I had a two hour break. This is where the eventful stuff happens, during my breaks. I walked to the Natural sciences library and sat in front with the usual "click". We usually just play cards or do homework. Although, this specific day, we decided to just study for the upcoming chem test, this carried on for maybe an hour and fifteen minutes, until I left to my next class, chemistry (10:30 a.m.). This was a good class, mostly because I love chemistry, and I like learning new things. But again, notes, attention and problem solving. Once I left chem it was 12:00 P.M. at this time, I headed to the student center with a few of my pals to eat lunch. It isn't good to eat at the student center at mid day, the lines are extremely long. We spent 45 minutes just getting lunch. By the time we were done eating, it was time for my last class of the day, biology. Which was basically the properties of a water molecule and the discussion of functional groups. After this class ended, It was 4:00 P.M., so I left and got home at about 5:30. I spent a few hours studying and doing H.W. maybe an hour having dinner and I ended up going to bed at 10:30 P.M. Just to start the cycle again in 7 hours or so. I guess my weekly routine, with the exception of weekends, is pretty much based on the same activities on a daily basis, I find it sort of monotonous when I think of it, but really, I rarely analyze my daily activities, so it must be pretty normal by now.
