As another weekend passes I contemplate how I can use my time better. Hopefully the tutor at CFAR can help me, even if it means having to schedule a homework routine. I have two tests this week; one on Tuesday and another on Wednesday. I'm more worried about the Tuesday test for Abnormal Behavior, which I did study for yesterday by answering the first batch of study questions. Hopefully the teacher's assistant I sent them to will be able to get them back to me with feedback before the test. I still need to finish the general study questions (which I started last night), finish the sample exam and do what the CFAR tutor taught me. I became quite disheartened trying to answer the general study questions today, as there were many I couldn't answer, even with the notes I had taken as I read the novel. I stopped and spent the rest of my time reviewing my notes and the additional readings assigned. I figured getting frustrated wouldn’t help prepare for the test. As for my other exam in Research Methods, if I finish the reading and look over my notes, I should do fine.
I went to an oral surgeon today in regards to my wisdom teeth. I'll be having them removed in June, which I'm not particularly looking forward to, but it has been a long time coming. The cost of dentistry is ridiculous; almost $2,000 to have all four teeth removed. What my Mom's dentistry insurance doesn't cover her medical insurance should; if it didn't we would have to pay $645 ourselves. This makes me feel even more inclined to get a job this summer. I've pretty much given up the notion of taking three classes; financially it seems irresponsible, even with the check my aunt gave me. I'll just have to make the four credits up another time. I haven't had a real job in about a year so finding a new one makes me nervous, especially with the current state of the economy.
Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I swear I ran into the girl I'm trying to avoid once again. I suspect I saw her walking across the street in the opposite direction of me as I was heading to my Research Methods class. The girl in question was wearing the same jacket and sunglasses I've seen her wearing before. I'll admit that a part of me still wants to see her but at the same time also wants to avoid her. I tried telling myself it wasn't her, but as I continued on I was afraid she was the person walking behind me. Whenever I see a girl who even remotely looks like her I get anxious. Along with forgetting my lunch, being unable to get a snack before class because the vending machine was being refilled and my head phones shocking me multiple times, I became rather melancholy. When I got home I went straight toward the chocolate. I have a bad habit of eating my sorrows away which if I wasn't currently satisfied with my weight, I wouldn't allow myself to do.
I mentioned before I wanted to talk about a few of my unusual habits. The best way to start is by describing how I typically start my day on a school day. I wake up at 7 AM, unless I went to bed early the night before, which I've been doing often as of late. I spend around twenty to thirty minutes online while at the same time eating breakfast. I choose what I’ll be consuming the night before; either oatmeal or cereal or toast or a combination of two. After breakfast I take a shower, letting the water pour over me for about five minutes, get the wash cloth wet and soapy, turn the water off, wash every area of my body I can reach, put shampoo in my hair and then rinse off. Once I'm out of the shower I dry my body and hair off a bit, put conditioner on, brush my teeth using a two minute timer (which I received from the girl I'm avoiding), floss, wash my face with another soapy wash cloth, use mouth wash, rinse off my face and conditioner in the shower, spit out the mouth wash, dry my body and hair again, comb my hair and wipe off the shower walls with a towel. On account of being unable use my dad's razor to trim off my facial hair before shaving, my mom bought me a mini razor. I use it every morning to keep my stubble short. While the appearance isn’t as charming as a clean shave, it's more manageable then shaving once a week. What I do from there is less structured, but I typically go online again and get dressed. I just recently started placing the shower mat and two wash clothes (after ringing them out) onto the towel rack. Since it's a new addition to my routine I tend to either forget or do it right before I leave. I'm usually running late so I haphazardly grab my water bottle, lunch, laptop and power cord, bag, Playstation Portable (PSP) and headphones before rushing out the door. At some point I make sure to spray some Axe on, just in case there is any remaining stench. The night before I pick what I'm going to wear, decide what I'm going to eat for the entire day, make my lunch, fill my water bottle and put everything in my bag I'll need for the day. I use to put my lunch, bag and PSP in my car at night, but I decided to keep my lunch inside with the change in weather. I keep my bag inside because it's easier to put my power cord in it instead of trying to juggle it with everything else I'm carrying. Leaving my PSP out during the winter caused buttons to stick from the cold, which wouldn't be a problem now but since I don't bother putting the other two items, the benefit is minuscule.
When I make my bed I try to do it as perfect as possible, even though I realize I'm going to mess it up as soon as I go to bed. I make sure the sheets are evenly distributed on each side, as straight as possible and that the fitted sheet is airtight. I try to put all the sheets hanging off the side under the bed as far as I can, except for the comforter. To some extent I've always had a morning routine, but nothing this through. There are still many more unusual habits, but since this is a meaty blog post, that's enough for now.
