November 6th

  Today I woke up at 6:30am. This is very early for me but I had to get ready to drive home by 7:30am. I had work in Wooster, Ohio, which is where I live outside of school. I got up, showered, shaved, and brushed my teeth. Once I was done with that, I got dressed and packed my bag with warm clothes as the forecast said it would be 28 degrees Fahrenheit. Once I was packed, I went out to my car and got ready to leave. However, I couldn’t leave when I wanted to due to the fact that it had rained the night before and the water had frozen onto my windows. I had to blast my cars heat while simultaneously using an ice scraper to clear my windows so that I could see and drive safely. This ended up taking me about 10 to 15 minutes. Once my windows were sufficiently cleared, I got back in and began my drive to Wooster. I took Route 70 for about 10 miles before merging onto Route 77 for another 44 miles. Once I reached Dover, Ohio, I merged onto State Route 250 and continued on that path for 30 M

November 4th

  November 4 rd , Today, I woke up around 7:30am and sat around on my phone for about an hour before getting ready. I was watching my favorite YouTube channel and getting caught up on their most recent videos. The channel is called KTO and it focuses on the history of the National Football League and the players involved. After doing that for about an hour, I got up and decided to get ready. I went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and showered. This took me about 20 minutes and when I was finished, it was 9:00 in the morning. I decided to read my book for my Theories of Personality class until it was time for my 10:00am meeting. Once it was 9:50am, I left my dorm to go to my meeting. I went out to the parking lot, got in my car, and drove there. I got there and went into my meeting, and we went over things for Theories of Personality Psychology class. After a half hour, I left and went to Subway to grab an early lunch. I got my usual buffalo chicken sandwich and went back to my dorm

November 2nd

  November 2 nd , Today I woke up at 7:30am which is going to be the new time I wake up at. I enjoy having some time to myself in the mornings either before or after I get ready. Once I felt fully awake, I got up, showered, and got dressed. I sat around on my phone for about two hours before I had my 10am meeting at PLUS with Robin. I drove over there and managed to snag the very last parking spot available. Once I parked, I grabbed my bag from my car and began to walk inside. I ran into my old roommate and we had a quick conversation as we were heading in the same direction. I was excited to get inside the building as it is very cold out today. I went downstairs and went into my meeting where we went over my Theories of Personality class. We specifically went over my notes for the test the day prior and the prospectus paper that is due Friday. I was given a list of ideas to write about for the paper and after the 30 minutes were up, I went back to my car and drove to the nearby Subway

November 1st

November 1 st , Today, I woke up at 5:00am which is super, super early for me. I did this because I had a very difficult exam in my Theories of Personality class. I began studying around 5:15am after letting myself wake up a bit. I studied by writing down details of everything listed on the study guide. I got all this information by going through PowerPoints and the textbook. I studied for about 3 hours before showering, brushing my teeth, and getting ready. Once I was ready, I began to study even more and was talking over my notes aloud with myself. I ended up skipping my 10am class for the sake of having an extra hour to prepare for the exam. I went over to the Ulster house and helped my classmate study. I let him read over my notes and I also read them out loud to him, which helped me memorize the information more efficiently. This test was over Carl Jung, Karen Horney, and Erik Erikson and their individual theories and how they could be applied. I had drunk two cups of coffee so st

October 29th

  October 29 th , Today, I woke up at 7:00am which is earlier than I usually awake on weekdays. The reason I did this was so I could do laundry before my classes. I got up, grabbed my hamper and detergent, and went down to the laundry room. I used about 1/3 of a cap full of detergent for each load of laundry as I had to split it up into two separate loads. After I started my laundry, I went upstairs and began to study for my two exams I have today. The first exam was in Arts/Humanities Western Culture, and it was our 4 th  exam. It was about the evolution of music and its culture inside the United States. The test mainly covered Dolly Parton, Madonna, Prince, Van Halen, and more. I studied the power points on each artist that were posted to my class’s Blackboard. I studied for 30 minutes while my laundry was in the washer and after that half hour, I went back downstairs and switched my laundry over to the dryer. After this, I studied for another half an hour and then proceeded to get r

October 22th

  October 22 nd , I woke up at 8:30am as usual. I got up, showered, and got dressed. I let my MacBook charge while I got ready because it was about to die. After I was done, I went to the restroom and then I was on my way to class. My first class is Arts/Humanities West Culture with Dr. Kaluhiokalani. We went over Dolly Partson and her influence on culture. The lecture lasted the entire 50 minutes and I got very bored. After that class, I went to Theories of Personality with Dr. Meyer. We continued to go over Erik Erikson and his psychoanalytic theory. We paused the lecture to watch a brief documentary on Erikson’s theories. This was moderately interesting, so the lecture didn’t feel as long as the class prior. After that, I had an hour-long break after that class so I decided to get Chipotle for lunch. I ordered my usual bowl on the app, which is double brown rice, no beans, chicken, cheese, and the tomatillio red salsa. I drove to Cambridge, picked it up, and drove back. All in all,

October 17th

I woke up at 7:30am which is earlier than I usually wake up as I had to get ready for work. This time, I had to work in the Fairfield County Fair in Lancaster, Ohio. I showered and got ready before heading out. Once I left, I realized that I had forgot to bring my water battle. I pulled a U-turn and drove back to campus. I got back to my dorm building and retrieved my water bottle before leaving again. The drive was about an hour long and I have been doing it all week. I decided that I wanted to listen to all of Kid Cudi’s albums in order, so I continued doing so while on the drive. The drive itself was rather uneventful. It consists of going west on Route 70 for about 30 to 40 miles, then taking an exit onto Route 37 South for about 15 miles. Since I arrived before the start of the fair, it was fairly easy to find parking close to where I was going to be working. This week, I have been working in the fish fry trailer. We battered and fried fish, oysters, clams, and shrimp. We also had
