Today I am just tired… To give you an idea as to why, let me give you my typical schedule.
- 5:30. Alarm goes off. Hit snooze button until…
- 6:00. Get up, shower, eat, make coffee.
- 6:30. Start walking to the bus stop, which is a mile away.
- 7:00. Reach bus stop. Resist temptation to go to Starbucks across the street.
- 7:15ish. Bus arrives.
- 7:45ish. Bus deposits me at the high school.
- 8:00. Begin fieldwork—watching the classes, mainly.
- 12:10. Lunch break; I don't often stick around for the afternoon class. So…
- 12:30. Catch bus back to Scotts Valley.
- 12:45. Bus makes it to Scotts Valley. However, it doesn't go back to my bus stop; that takes another bus. So I have to wait for the other bus. Fortunately, there are coffee houses downtown.
- 1:45. The other bus arrives.
- 2:10. Back to my bus stop, followed by a hike up the hill back to campus.
- 2:40. Back on campus. Shower, start reading for class.
- 5:00. Class, which goes until…
- 8:30ish. Supposed to go until 9, but there's only so much one can cover each day… Aren't I paying for this, though?
- Afterwards: Eat, maybe watch some TV, sleep.
Note how much time is killed thanks to the bus system. Obviously I have to buy a car this summer.
Time for class…
