WIAW: Day in the Life

Hiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guess what, I'm typing this super duper fast cuz I forgot to write it up yesterday! Yay me.

Speaking of yesterday, I've been wanting to do a "Day in the Life" post for a while now. So yesterday, I decided that I was finally going to do it. Only, I forgot to put it up, so I just converged it with a WIAW.

Cuz let's be honest, I mainly took pics of my food. :)

Thanks to the fantabulous Jenn!!


6:10 - alarm number one goes off, and I hit snooze

6:15 - alarm number two, and I leap out of bed. I wash/blowdry/straighten my hair

6:30 - Head to the kitchen and whip up a green smoothie:



6:45 - sit down with breakfast part two - this morning was Ezekial Cinnamon Raisin toast, coconut peanut butter, a banana, chia seeds, a drizzle of honey, and a side of coffee.



7:05ish-7:20 - get dressed/do makeup/get school stuff together

Note: I do not like to rush in the morning, so I get up earlier than probably necessary so I can have my "me time." Totally worth waking up 30 minutes earlier. 

7:30 - on the bus! And I took a nap, because we are the first picked up and my ride is at least 45 minutes long.

8:30 - first period, Spanish 4! We are in the midst of preparing for finals, so we were going over a review. Perfect tense, holla. 



9:30 - second period, Healthcare Science 3 (Nursing Essentials). The first half of class, we took a SLO, which is basically a standardized test for each subject to record "progress made". As if we don't test enough already. At about 10, I ate a vegan banana chocolate chip muffin, and some almonds. 



10:30 - third period, Honors American Lit. I think we just watched the Great Gatsby? But I read my book....*coughcough nerd*

11:30 - LUNCH! I was supah hungry for lunch today, and it hit the spot. Turkey, avocado, hummus, turkey, veggies on a whole wheat spelt wrap, apple slices, bell peppers, and trailmix. 




12:30 - fifth period, Advanced Algebra. Ew. EWwwwww. 



1:30 - Honors Human Anatomy and Physiology! Today, we were finishing up our dissection of a fetal pig - I will spare you squeamish ones of pictures. But I was the main person doing the cutting (holla), and I removed his heart and intestines, and observed his urinary system (yeah it was a male). So gross yet so fascinating.

2:30 - seventh period, AP US History. We are officially done learning, and watched The Aviator. I also ate some cantaloupe, partly because I was hungry, partly because I was feeling nauseous from the dissection (it smelled AWFUL).



3:30 - school's out! Ride le bus home.

4:30 - arrived home around 4, and now settling down for another snack - Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Larabar with some baby carrots. 


Here's where the monotony begins. I had no homework, and I have no extracurricular activities at the moment. Had I had homework or something else to do, it would be a bit different. 

4:30 - 5:30 - finish up the Once Upon a Time season finale. HOLY CRAP. I yelled the TV. I squealed like a little girl. I let my emotions take the wheel and cried like a little baby. Romance and heartbreak, I just can't handle it, people. 

5:30-6 - chorez.

6 - I was getting antsy and went out for a walk. I was out in the sunshine for about an hour and covered maybe 3-ish miles? It was lovely.




7:00 - got home and hydrated with the rest of this kombucha while making dinner. It may be my new favorite flavor! I still have two more in the fridge to try, but it's gonna be hard to compete!



7:30 - dinner! It was sooo easy to make (only took about 20 minutes). Tomato sauce with spinach and Applegate Farms Italian Chicken Sausage (so good!), with salad+balsamic dressing. YUM!



8-8:30 - clean up dishes, and the cleaned my room. I had to get it from looking like this:


to this:


8:30 - looong shower. I still smelled like formaldehyde! Nasty.

9 - This is generally when I "unplug" for the day. I got my new issue of Cooking Light and a Time devoted to Beatlemania to read. **fun fact: I love the Beatles!



This month's Cooking Light is such a good issue! I dog-eared like half the magazine. And let me tell you, the Beatles magazine is no light reading:



9:30 - Get up, make lunch for the next day, do some laundry

10:00 - gettin' hungry. Night time snack:



Sit down and watch 15 minutes of the Big Bang Theory with Mom, and head to brush my teeth and get ready for bed. 

10:30 - climb in bed and read my book for a good hour or more. If I like my book, I will read until my eyes are burning. I am currently reading Call the Midwife, and love it!! I've also got 12 books on my Amazon wish list.

11:30? - lights out!!

What an exciting life, I lead, eh? But I love it. 

Have a wonderful evening, darlings!

      A&P dissected cats last year, but my teacher didn't want to do them, thank the Lord. I would NOT have participated.

  2. Haha, wow, you fit in a lot in your day! I wake up at 4am and I drive to school at 7...even though school doesn't start till 7:45 and it take same only 10 minutes to get there, haha! I love mornings though, I need all that time just to start my day right. Early riser...but I got to bed by 9 ;) Maybe I am just an old grandma!
    P.S. how is the Aviator? We are going to start watching that in AP psych tomorrow!

    1. Haha I try to!! And I love mornings too! You're not an old grandma at all (unless we both are!!)

      The Aviator is pretty good! I liked it, mainly because I love history and psychology. I don't think I'd watch it again though, haha.

      Have an awesome day girly!

  4. Oh man that dinner looks so good. I haven't had a hearty bowl of pasta like that in a while!
    I haven't been able to watch tv in forever because of all things school-related + blogging, so the only thing I can keep up with is Food Network :D

    1. Thanks girl - and me either, I was definitely craving it!

      I surprisingly don't watch as much TV as I used to. I just go with what I like. I haven't turned on the Food Network in FOREVER because my family got tired of me watching it, haha! I need to catch up!

      Have an amazing evening!

  5. ALL THOSE APs!! How do you do it??? Wowza. Your class schedule sounds really interesting though :) I love your morning routine. Man, I wish I had the kind of initiative you have to get up early to have a peaceful morning. I take the half hour of sleep and always end up rushing.

    1. I actually only took one AP class, all of the others are Honors (which is basically the same thing, but I don't take an AP test at the end of the year).

      The more you wake up early, the more your body adjusts! I don't even have to set an alarm most of the time! :) Love ya chica!
