A Typical Day...

Many of you have expressed an interest in knowing how I spend my time here at summer school.  It's really not that interesting since the same thing happens day after day, but here it goes...

  • 6:15am ~ my alarm goes off.  The sun is always shining and its beautiful outside.
  • 7:15 ~ I head out the door to walk to the school.  I take the scenic route, and stop and talk to the maintenance people who are out working sometimes.  Everyone is so friendly!
  • 7:45 ~ The first place I go is to work.  I love my job!  Most often I am working on the website for the Steel Research Center. 
  • 8:45 ~ I text as much as I can with my family.  This is one of the only times I can talk to them during the day, so I text between work and math.  
  • 9:00 ~ I am in calculus class taking notes furiously.  There is so much to write in such a short time!
  • 11:00 ~ I eat lunch while walking from calculus to my physics class.  During this time the physics teachers hold office hours.  That means I get a lot of homework done.  
  • 1:00 ~ Physics lecture and studio.  That is a lot of physics and it's not done yet!
  • 4:00 ~ Homework help for physics.  Excellent time to get more help on homework. 
  • 6:00 ~ The physics studio is locked up, so we relocate to the lounge area and do all our calculus homework.  There is not nearly as much of that.  
  • 7:00 ~ We walk back to the apartment.  Time for dinner (where something will of course go wrong), more physics homework, and a shower.  
  • 10:00 ~ Time for some journaling and reading my Bible.  
  • 10:30 ~ Lights out!  I'm generally asleep pretty instantly.

Yep, that's my entire day.  Most of it seems to be physics.  I eat, breath and dream physics at this point.

  2. Guess today was certainly not a typical day. Hope that you enjoyed the day with some of your family. We had a great sermon today on Prov. 31:1-9 and he based it on religion and politics and what a Christian is to do and why it is important to vote. You would have liked it because he got into some of the sticky issues w/o telling you HOW to vote. It did make you think. Amy got off work early so we were glad for her. Enjoy the food and have a great week. We love you, Laura. The Seniors
