Daily Life - January 2009- [in prog]

I would like to transcribe a thorough description of my 'every-day,' that is, my common day-to-day schedule in this period of my life so that when I'm old (because it seems like my parents can't remember the commonplace activities of the lives in the past) I can look back on these writings and remember, not really remenise, but just be able to reference how my days were spent when I was 19. I have started this post now on January 5th, 2009 and doubt that I will finish it tonight, but I will edit in the rest later and then include the date on which I finish the writing.
I would like to do one of these style posts every six months or so so that I can keep a detailed record of my 'every-day,' though the period of time I have cited is arbitrary; I intend to document different stages of life rather than periods of time.

It is 10pm on Sunday, April 26th, 2009. Tomorrow is the last day of the Spring semester. I feel like there is so much to tell, most of it humdrum and mundane, but I will persevere. I would like to know what I did in fourth grade, what my days were composed of, and someday I would like to know what I did in Spring of '09. So here goes.

I will start with an overview of what my weeks have been like. [then discuss my classes,

Monday: Try to wake up early like 8 or 9 but usually fail. Sometimes sleep till 1:30, God forbid any later, but sometimes I succeed in my goal. First Monday of the semester I believe I woke up around 8 and wrote a Blog. Generally, if I have this time, I will clean the house, primarily the kitchen and secondarily my room. Documentary film is at 3:00pm. Class was originally held in the downstairs of Aderhold, but after our room was subject to flood damage it has been moved to the third floor which I often forget. Sometimes after class I go up to the fourth floor balcony and eat lunch, but usually I just head to Five Points station, take the East bound train to Inman Park and, because I get there around 4:30 or 4:45 and the bus doesn't leave till 5:00, I walk about 15 minutes to work on Krog street where I am a janitor and proud of it. For $160 a month, I clean twice a week for about an hour-and-a-half to two hours, though sometimes I shave that down if I'm in a hurry. My employer is my Mother's and she got me the job. Most everyone is nice to me there, but the vacuum is severely worn down and the wheels keep falling off because I vacuum with such intensity (often I pretend that it is a trick, racing show to pass the time). Then I walk back to Inman, rarely catching the bus, and take the train one stop East to Edgewood-Chandler park, arriving home at 188 Mayson Ave. around 7 or 7:30. Hard to say exactly what I do then, maybe clean, maybe homework, maybe write or play music. As most nights that we have not seen each pther in person, I talk to Kate on the phone for around an hour.

Tuesday: Wake up at 9:30, shower, cook breakfast, pack lunch, load backpack, or some or all of those things the night before so I can sleep as late as possible. Lately after class Greg and I will go to Dunkin Doughnuts where I will get a Bagel toasted with Cream Cheese on the side and some kind of doughnut. The man who works behind the counter, whose name I've never known, is extremely nice and makes my coffee as soon as I walk in. Freshman year, after Astronomy class at 10am, I used to go there three times a week. I stopped going because I was making eggs and bacon everyday, but after Kate hinted that could cause a bad cholesterol future to quote (I'm being sarcastic because of my bad syntax), I decided to go back and he remembered me and the coffee I liked! So I now go every Tuesday and Thursday and Greg and I (he usually eats something else or nothing) use one of those dirty, plastic tables that say "FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY!" Hobos hassle us commonly. I then go to Geology at 11pm. Sometimes I am late but I don't really care. Before I was going to Dunkin I used just wait outside the class for 25 minutes or so and read film essays amongst many other students. After class ends at 12:15 I proceed to eat lunch (after urinating and washing my hands of course) during the busiet, most crowded, smoky, and loud time on campus. I used to meet up w/ James at this time, but because of various scheduling difficulties I now eat with Greg, though after eating Dunkin Doughnuts so recently, I generally don't want to eat yet. This is to much detail and kind of boring to write up. But I will persevere! I used to go to Geology lab at 1, but it ended short of the semester, thank God. I usually ride the train to Doraville, as I have done for many Sundays, where Kate picks me up and we usually go the her house, often hitting the bank, my house, or a restaurant like Hudson Grill. On the train I read my Documentary essay for the week, sometimes experiencing motion sickness, and write a short report about it that night or, more commonly...

Wednesday: morning. [Here I had to take a break becuase I was so bored... I will play the guitar now and resume this writing tomorrow]
