• 6:30 am - Wake up to the sound of my alarm informing me ofanother week coming to an end. I get up, eat a bowl ofcereal, take my vitamins and I’m off to campus for thelast morning workout of the week.
• 7:00 am - I’m off to the weight room with the team to get a littlestronger than day before!
• 8:00 am - After weights I shower and head to the residentialrestaurant to eat some breakfast. I have to enjoy this foodsince I will be attending three straight physiology classesand I will not have a chance to grab a bite to eat duringlunch.
• 8:30 am - Off to my first class of the day, this class is ExercisePhysiology and lasts for two hours instead of the normalone hour class! Being an athlete I find it important inknowing how the body functions when an individual isworking out so this class is very interesting to me.
• 10:30 am - Off to Human Anatomy and Physiology. This is mysecond class of the day and it’s with Sandy Craner. I tryand get a drink from one of the fountains before I go intoclass to keep my mind fresh.
• 11:30 am - My last and final class of the day. I finish my day off withanother physiology class. Making this day five straighthours of physiology classes! Human Anatomy andPhysiology Lab is my last class and it also lasts for twohours like my first class!
• 1:30 pm - Finish with my last class of the day and head to go getsomething to eat. It seems like forever since breakfast.Light lunch is open at this time and I usually makemyself a sandwich.
• 2:30 pm - After lunch I head to my car and make the short driveback to my apartment. I am able to get some muchneeded relaxing time.
• 3:00 pm - I jump on my computer and check D2L to see what ishappening next week in my classes and to see if I haveeverything turned in that needs to be.
• 4:00 pm - With only eating light lunch I start thinking of what Iwant to eat for supper and begin making it.
• 5:00 pm - After supper and it being Friday I get a chance to gohangout with some of my teammates, I usually callMitch Weg to see what his plans are for the night.
• 9:00 pm - Get home from hanging out with teammates and I’musually pretty tired from the long day so I jump in bedand watch some TV. ESPN is my go-to-show so I cankeep up with my favorite teams!
• 10:30 pm - Time to hit the hay, it’s been a long day and week and Iwill need the rest to be able to get through the comingweek!
