7:45 AM: My natural clock wakes me up! It takes me about 15 minutes to actually get out of bed though :)


8 AM: Morning routine begins.
- Put the pot of hot water on the stove for morning tea! {Can't seem to wake up without it}
- Breakfast: Preferably Ego Waffles. I also enjoy toast & peanut butter or cinnamon toast crunch cereal.
- 15 minutes of morning blogging to read your posts! This is when I tweet & Facebook the day's post.
- Get ready for the day! Wash face, brush teeth, makeup, hair, get dressed....all while listening to Pandora. Fave channels: Hillsong, Colbie Callait, Lady Antebellum, John Mayer, He is We.


9:30 AM: CAD {computer assisted drawing} Class


11 AM: Lighting Design Class

- Go take pictures at Meadow Boutique for the blog {on Friday's!}

4:30 PM:  Hot Yoga {Wednesday's}...most physically exhausting and rewarding hour of my week.

- Catch up with the family and friends back home via phone or skype
- On Monday's I lead Young Life


8 PM: Watch TV with roommates while I do homework at commercials...our nightly shows include:
- Monday: The Bachelor...not sure why I still watch it. I just.can't.stop.
- Tuesday: Parenthood
- Wednesday: American Idol & Modern Family
- Thursday: American Idol


10 PM: Evening routine...
- Get ready for bed
- Write the next day's post {if it wasn't done on the previous weekend}
- Do some pinning on Pinterest :)
- Read a chapter in a book for pleasure. {Favorites so far: The Holiness of God, Real Marriage, One Thousand Gifts}


11:15 PM: Bedtime Goal!
This is when I play at least 3 rounds of Solitare. I can't seem to fall asleep without winning playing.  Then I turn on my noise machine and fall asleep to the ocean waves.


Next day: wake up and do it all over again {but with a slightly different schedule of classes on certain days!}
***
What I've learned from writing this all out is that 1. I love a routine 2. I love to be busy and 3. It's always a good idea to schedule in some "me" time. Mine is found in TV time and pleasure reading time before bed. Oh, and the occasional mani/pedi.


What about you...What's your day look like? Do you like schedules? Like to keep busy? Do tell!
Okay....it's almost 11pm! I need to get into bed so I can make my bedtime ;)
Have a lovely Monday!
Love,
