A Relaxing Sunday in the life of a grad student:

A wise soul once told me... you will never look forward to a weekend again, it only means being able to do more hours of work in a day.

7:45 Wake up. Today wake up is particularly cranky. Within fifteen minutes I am banished to the shower to end the wake up period of whining and begin my day.

8:15 Start up laptop. Check school email. Email advises to check syllabus and assignments on "Blackboard"

8:30 Cue heart attack. Suffered in silence.

8:45 Stumble downstairs and pour cereal in a haze of horror and disbelief.

9:15 Start reading. Frantically.

11:15 Allow self break to drink coffee and then rush to Office Depot for organizational materials to chart massive to-do list. Once home Line walls with pages from a desk Calendar. Prepare to color code. Get back to reading.

12:35 Allow self 15 minute nap. Utter necessity.


12:50
Back to reading.

1:15 Ramen break. Nap did not provide sufficient energy. Resist coffee.

1:45 Print out syllabus, get to that color coding of assignments across three month span.

2:15 Presumably: back to reading.

The plan:

By 3:00 Take break from reading to tinker with career goals essay.

4:00 Back to reading. READ MORE.

I don't see much change except for dinner.
