I start my day by slowly getting my self out of bed around 8:30am after my alarm goes off a good five minutes before. I always hate the start of the day because I struggle to get my self out of bed and it’s always a fight to pull my self out from under the covers and start my day. Once I do finally get out of bed I like to start brewing a pot of coffee and take a sip out of the sink. I then go to the bathroom and put on some music and take a shower. I enjoy lessening to reggae in the morning because I find it relaxing and a nice way to start the day. All the music I have are in Mp3 file format witch was “developed in 1992, enables digital recordings to be compressed into smaller more manageable files.”(Media&Culture)
After my shower I brush my teeth then I put on some jeans and a shirt and get a cup of coffee. If it’s a day I woke up early and have time before my classes ill put on the TV sit down on my reclining chair and watch some news witch is “defined as the process of gathering information and making narrative reports edited by individuals for news organization”(Media& Culture), or the weather channel and make something to eat normally a bagel with cream cheese. I like watching these stations in the morning because I feel like they lets me start my day knowing what’s going on in the world and this makes me feel smarter and more informed. I only spend about 20 min to a half hour watching TV in the morning.
I go from watching TV to trying to get some home work or studying done before I go to my first class. To do my homework Ill move out of the living room to my desk in my bedroom to try to avoid any distractions from people of the TV But having a computer with me to “help me with my home work” makes it hard to not get distracted because I can always check my emails or Face book, which is the biggest social networking site with a “total market value at $15 billion”. (Media & culture) Surfing the web and looking at my emails and Face book is a lot more fun then doing my homework and I end up finding my self looking at these more then I am doing my work. This can get back because it seems to almost become addicting.
To get to class I have to take a buss from Quarry hill to campus it takes about ten min and comes every 45 min. I do not like taking the buss so I use my Black Berry to listen to music and surf the web on the way to school. I really like the Black Berry because it combines a phone and the Internet and an mp3 player into one device making it really convenient and take up less room. In one buss ride I can listen to about four songs and check my emails and browse a few websites. This makes the ride a lot more enjoyable as well as seems a lot shorter.
When I finely get to school I get off the buss and walk to the café to get some food because the bus always get their at least 20 min before class starts. I almost always keep my head phones on when getting off the bus and walking to the café to let my limbic brain have more time to enjoy some tunes. Once I get to the café I pick out some food to eat and get a drink. I then look around to see if there is any one around that I know and would want to sit with. Most of the time I see one of my friends and sit with them and eat my food. Most of the time we will talk about skiing or music like rock and roll that “hit in the mid 1950s” (Media&Culture) two of my favorite things.
I leave the café to go to class. The walk to class is never more then five minutes. Today it is a good five minutes walk to get to my media and society class. On the walk their I have to go past the book store and then across the court yard and in to Ireland up two flights of stairs and straight down the hall. The class started at 1230 and I got their a few min early. In class we learn about many different parts of media like cable, Internet, book and how to use power tools to look deeper at media.
After Media and Society I have to go to rhetoric witch is a quick four min walk cross the courtyard and in to freeman hall. In rhetoric I read a lot of story and answer questions about the story’s I read I do not really enjoy reading so I find this class kind of boring and hard. As well as reading story we also have to write a good amount of papers that are equally not as fun as reading short story’s. We also watch a few movies one of them was Smoke Signals I found this movie interesting and fun to watch.
Rhetoric is my last class of the day and after my last class I always go to the gym and work out for en hour. I like working out because it is a nice way to relive the stress of a day of classes. When working out I like to listen to music I feel it helps me because it keep my mind of what I am doing and I don’t feel as tired. I mostly just lift weights and do not do much running or cardio exercise. After working out I go back to the café and get some food before I take the buss back to my apartment at Quarry.
