Some days are just great days.\u00a0 But one thing I\u2019ve discovered about great days is they often require some measure of set-up.<\/p>\n

For example, last night I finished my homework around 11:30.\u00a0 I could have stayed up into the wee hours of the morning studying for a midterm I have this week, but I decided to instead go to bed early (we\u2019re talking about college time, where midnight is just when things are getting started and 9 am is an ungodly time to be awake).\u00a0 Once my teeth were brushed and my face washed and I was tucked comfortably into bed, I allowed myself to watch two episodes of one of my new favorite shows \u2013 New Girl — before drifting off to sleep.<\/p>\n

I awoke at 8:30 am to a new special treat.\u00a0 Over the weekend I had found an alarm clock app on my phone that allows me to wake up to my favorite radio show from back home in Pittsburgh \u2013 the 96.1 KISS Morning Freak Show<\/a>.\u00a0 Nothing quite wakes me up like the familiar voices of Mikey and Big Bob and the ridiculously funny things they say.<\/p>\n

Next, I made it to my 9 am class (remember what I said about college time\u2026) ON TIME, which is a big deal for me.\u00a0 After learning about IS-LM graphs in Macroeconomics, I got to return home to Currier House for the afternoon!\u00a0 This never happens in my schedule.\u00a0 Living in the Quad with the busy schedule that I have, I generally leave my room sometime between 9-10am and don\u2019t return until between 9-10pm.\u00a0 The time I spend in between classes and meetings I spend either in PBHA or my sorority house!\u00a0 Meals are usually grabbed in other dining halls (or dhalls) on the River.<\/p>\n

But Currier dhall is by far my favorite, and it is soooo nice when I get to come back to my house during the day.\u00a0 Sure, some people may say it looks like a retirement home (and it really does), but Currier dhall boasts a super social environment where people eat, do work, and hang out all at once.\u00a0 And what can I say, there\u2019s just no place like home!<\/p>\n

So basically my day so far has been awesome, but it took a little bit of work. \u00a0I got myself to bed at a decent hour, got over eight hours of sleep, got myself out<\/em>\u00a0of bed this morning, etc. \u00a0And it was all SOOOOO worth it!<\/p>\n

The rest of my day is not going to be quite as relaxing.\u00a0 After dinner, I have meetings until 10pm.\u00a0 Ugh.\u00a0 And I have a midterm and pre-paper due on Wednesday.\u00a0 But with the sun shining through the skylight in the middle of my dhall, I can\u2019t bring myself to be stressed out about it.<\/p>\n

Hope your lives are going well!\u00a0 Happy Spring!<\/p>\n
