A Day in the Life of... ME!

This idea comes from the ClothesHorse-- to take one picture every hour for one day (starting from when you wake up because who wants to see 8 pictures of you sleeping?). I thought it would be a fun experiment for me, at least, to see what it is that I really do everyday and how I manage my time. I tried to be as honest as I could be with a "typical" day.

Here's what Tuesday looked like:

6 o'clock hour: Despite me saying that I would try my hardest to show a "typical" day, things from the get go started out atypically. I had waaay too much caffeine and so I was up until 2pm doing absolutely nothing but wasting time on the internet. Surprisingly, I woke up around 6AM when it was still dark out. Yes, I'm in my bring green PJs again.

7 o'clock hour: This is the only part of my day that is not typical at all. But I had been feeling all sorts of crappy about myself that I decided to take out my deflated stability/exercise ball and do something with it since I haven't been to the gym in like years. I put on an exercise workout on youtube while jamming out to Kpop~ CL & Minji's Please Don't Go. "Yeah I'm the baddest female seoul city ever had..."


8 o'clock hour: Fixing the eyes (and face) and getting ready for school.


9 o'clock hour: Spent most of the time driving, but got to school in time for second breakfast. I must have tea in the morning!






10 and 11 o'clock hours: Spent in my office. I was holding office hours and thus nothing really exciting was going on except me talking to students. As you can see, I'm in extra casual wear today as 1) my hair was a pain this morning and 2) I'm taking 2 hours of my 9 day Thanksgiving break to go to school for students--the last thing I want to be is uncomfortable!



Noon: Students are gone, and I'm back on you tube! I'm sort of obsessed with this song, "The Look" by Ryan Tedder, and I particularly like this "improvised" version. It's "improvised" because he doesn't know all the words (which he admits to) and so its more like a snippet, but its still nice.


One o'clock hour: Bundled up like its not 75 degrees outside. But off to the library to get some more reading materials, incognito, of course.



Two and three o'clock hours: Late lunch at olive garden, and still at olive garden. I didn't realized until later that I had actually deleted my "2pm" picture, so that's why there's only one. This is actually a coaster from olive garden.



Four o'clock hour: Dusk, and home sweet home.



Five (and six) o'clock hour: This was literally taken like five minutes before I passed out! Not getting enough sleep takes a toll on me.


seven o'clock hour: I had overslept by 30 minutes and was late to this meeting at panera! luckily for me, the place is seriously 2 minutes away by car--I had planned to walk there originally but oversleeping really just nixed that idea. This was a "london planning" meeting--did I mention I'm going to london for a week after Christmas? I'm laughing in this picture because my sister caught me and kept saying "what are you doing? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"



eight o'clock hour: London underground and remnants of a chocolate chip cookie.


Nine o'clock hour: After I got home, I was busy looking up flight/rail tickets for a side excursion to paris. But an extra $250 just to get there? I need to get rich, like, now.


Ten o'clock hour: Time for bed!

So I learned I spend an embarrassing amount of time in front of my computer, and that it really isn't easy taking a picture every hour. I would always wait until the later part of the hour--because I wanted the picture to be representative of what I was actually doing at that time-- and sometimes I would just forget or couldn't really do it because of meetings, dinners/lunches. If I do this again, I'll do it when I'm off doing something cool so that it's more interesting haha.
