routine

so after 2 weeks of waking up when i please, lounging around, and getting little to nothing accomplished, i decided that my life was in dire need of some structure. i hate to admit it, but i love routine. it makes the days predictable and productive.

since i wasn't in school this year, i never bothered to buy a day-planner. so instead, i went online and printed off a calendar. i have tons of appointments and things i need to get accomplished before med school (only 4 months away), so i decided it was time to start chipping away at that list. nothing says fun like eye appointments, car inspections, and hunting for next year's housing...

anyway, i'm happy to report that the calendar is working already! this morning i did the first half of my TB test (i had to wait 25 minutes in the waiting room for a 15 second visit with the nurse: annoying). but hey! that's one more thing i can cross off the list.

i'm also making myself wake up with an alarm clock. i've been getting up at 7:30am, eating breakfast, enjoying the today show & my coffee, and then going to the Y. today i went to a really good spin class. want to hear the best part? i looked over at the guy next to me, and i assumed he accidently spilled his water bottle all over the floor. then i realized he didn't have a water bottle. and that he was sweating so much that he had formed a massive puddle on the floor. granted, it is a sweat-tastic class, but that just can't be normal!

anyway, after the Y, the TB test, and a trip to the grocery store, it was time for lunch!



on the plate: sandwich thin topped with a spicy black bean burger, spinach, and ketchup with a side of strawbs, broc + ranch, and blueberry chobani for dessert! yummmm.
