A Somewhat Productive Day.

This morning I accomplished something wonderful. I woke up at an ungodly hour (6 a.m.) without hitting my snooze button. I took a shower, made a large breakfast, and made sure my room was clean before I left.

This whole morning routine is something I have been trying to master. This is difficult, considering I'm not a morning person. However, I finally got through it in a timely manner, and the result was a great start to my day. I had a lot of stress in my life for a while. I had hardly any structure or balance to anything. So along with other things, getting a good start to my day gives me a more clear and better outlook.

I drove to school, which by the way is at least a 45 minute commute, and to my surprise, there was no traffic! At 8 a.m. of all times! I feel that was good karma. Normally, I wake up late, scramble to get things together, and leave at 8:05 a.m., and for some reason that 5 minutes makes the difference between whether or not there is an accident on the freeway causing stop and go traffic.

I make it to my bioengineering class, and listen to a lecture about what we will do with our major. I am so inspired. Defibrillators, cochlear implants, pacemakers... I can't wait until I am designing products that improve the human body.

Class ends and I call my boy that is a good friend, Joe. I find conversation with him very frustrating. It could have been that he was riding on his skateboard while trying to talk to me, but I feel like all our phone conversations are 3 minute "Hi, how are you?, I'm good, have a good day, bye" conversations. I don't know if we are nervous to talk to eachother, so we are lost for words? I think that idea contributes a little bit to my part of the conversations. I don't know how much he is going to care about what I have to say. Then I wonder if we really have nothing to talk about? I hope that's not the case. More than anything, I need someone I can have good conversations with. We hang up and I move on with my day.

I have one more class, and then I am debating on whether or not I want to go hang out with "the girls" tonight. I don't have actual graded homework to turn in, but I want to do really well in school. I don't want to just memorize concepts, I want to understand them. I want to be the best. I saw the girls a lot this week, so I think I will go home and study after this last class.
