Schedule

It goes like this:

• 5 a.m. - get up. [not MWF, on those days just leave the house, or eat breakfast first:] Meditate for 5 minutes in room, on pillows - breath 10 seconds in, breath 10 seconds out. Eat breakfast. Read in the front parlor in the sun (when the sun is up). (Can also read other places and other things -- like on the internet. Actually, check messageboard on Blackboard daily after breakfast. Then play Riven until it becomes uncomfortable to do so. Actually, play Riven first. Then go on Blackboard.) TTh -- leave house at 6:30 a.m. to ride bike to school. Geology until 10:30 a.m. Go do geology homework and chapter questions, get whatever help you need on math (at least once a week stop in), and read lit text and go on to blackboard to join discussion and type rough drafts of the LMs.) (Saturday -- leave house after lunch to go and work on Literature some more - check out book again, read stories again. Go on blackboard to finish LMs. [Or stay home and do it at home.] -- I work on Geology at school only, on Mathematics at home only, and Literature both.)
  
• 12:30 p.m. - lunch. (also I read the newspaper while eating). Go into sun room and use laptop (do chapter test for geology after doing homework for that chapter). Can do math homework too.
  
• 6:30 p.m. - supper. Now I actually watch television: Food Network, or basically Fox, or maybe Family Guy, with exceptions for a few shows such as Man vs. Wild and some others that haven't been on so long due to the writers' strike, I've forgotten about them. Though they're back on now, I guess. Except for the ones that aren't. When I read New York Times articles about this, I feel so embarrassed for Hollywood ("you're making a scene"). TV watching from 6 to 9 is usually downstairs, in my aunt's office, where I feel safe. (Do math homework during commercials or not-want-to-watch programming)
  
• 8 p.m. - might switch to Comedy Central here.
  
• 9 p.m. - might switch to DVDs here. Go upstairs usually, anyway, to the living room.
  
• When I'm sleepy - read a few minutes of whatever book I'm reading, draw a bath. Hit the sack. If I have been lying awake for 20 minutes on the clock, I get out of bed and play Internet Backgammon, I guess.

Addendum: I may take Fridays off, to work on literature (because I need an empty house to think in), and then go to work on Saturdays, instead. Well, yeah, I have to do this. As long as I can read the stories online, I'll be OK (meaning I won't have to go to school to read them). And I would take Wednesdays off, but I have to be home alone. So, whenever I can be home alone. But Friday works better because it's closer to the weekend and I will have done more thinking and discussing about the stories.
