The surprisingly loud alarm of my cell phone wakes me from my slumber. |
7:00
|
Stumble half asleep into the bathroom to have a hot shower fully wake me up. |
7:15
|
Head up to the dining hall to have a light breakfast of cheerios in soymilk. |
7:45
|
Attempt to read the newspaper in the library, but end up chatting with my friends before class. |
8:00
|
AP Comp Gov with Mr. Masker (a double block). Today we discuss how the politics of the world only seem strange because of our American upbringing. |
9:20
|
AP US Gov with Mr. Weis. I’m really into the humanities, so I decided to double up on history my senior year. We have a lively class discussion on health care reform, and I’m amused by how interested we are in an issue we won’t actually have to deal with until middle age. |
10:10
|
Assembly. Byoung, who is a close friend of mine, made a birthday announcement for his little brother to the tune of Anyone Else but You. Quite funny. |
10:35
|
An open block. I head up to the library to get some homework done early, but also spend some time just relaxing and spending some time catching up with friends. |
11:25
|
AP EnviSci with Mr. Caditz. Today we do a lab which involves fishing M&M’s out of a bowl. Our team fishes out all the M&M’s from the bowl the first round, effectively starving us for the next three rounds. It effectively demonstrates the plague of overfishing. |
12:10
|
Made a turkey pesto panini for lunch today. I sit outside at the senior eating area (a privilege extended to seniors). I discuss the EnviSci Lab we did with Rohit, Clara, Paul, and Kara. We joke about how we effectively starved ourselves, and how we would be pathetic fishers in real life. |
12:40
|
Senior English with Ms. Fortner (another double block). We’re in Schoolhouse 2, which has a long conference table, perfect for class discussions. We discuss the reading we did last night, and I discover some parts of the story that completely flew over my head. Sarah brings up a great point about the imagery present in Black Swans. |
2:00
|
Another free period! I take the time to do a little homework and then get ready for cross country. |
3:15
|
Athletics time. Since it is the fall season, I do cross country. It may be hard, but the payoff at the end of the season is great. |
4:45
|
Another shower, but cold this time, which feels amazing after a long run. |
5:30
|
Pasta for dinner tonight. I join my friends at one of the tables in the dining hall that overlooks the Pacific. |
6:00
|
I get dragged into a pickup game of Ultimate. I pretend like I’m not interested, but I get really into it. Our team wins (always a plus). |
7:00
|
Visit my friends up in High House. Get completely slaughtered in a game of old school Super Smash Bros. |
8:00
|
I’m on Duty with Ms. Salcedo tonight. It’s pretty quiet, so I’m able to get my homework done quickly. It’s just one of multiple duties I perform as a prefect. I plan on baking cookies for the whole dorm when my baking skills are up to par. |
10:00
|
I catch up with Edgar, my friend who is also a prefect in the room next to me. I ask him for some help on calculus. |
11:15
|
I climb into my bed, and I eventually succumb to the clutches of the dream world. |
