Today started off on a panicked note when I woke up late at 7:35 for an 8 a.m biochemistry class. I swear, sometimes my alarm turns itself off! I rushed to get dressed and decided to throw on workout clothes so I would be able to hit up the gym right after class.
After a fast-paced lecture, I biked the 1 minute route to my campus gym. I wasn’t in the mood to do too much after a late night of studying, so I stuck to 20 minutes on the elliptical and an ab workout. When I think about it, though, I get a ton of cardio through all the biking I do. Biking is huge at UCSB and I’m usually going at a fast pace for around 35 minutes a day.
After the gym, I had an hour and half before my 3 hour biology lab. I worked on reviewing the lab, showered, and got dressed for my first rainy day in months! The weather in California is awesome, but sometimes a bit of cold is a welcomed change. I love being able to snuggle up in my pjs with a warm cup of cocoa or coffee and spend time reading blogs or my latest book.
Anyways, while it only rained for a little bit, it completely made my day! I got to wear my new boots that I snagged for only $30. Oh happy day!
Before I knew it, it was time to get back to campus and start working again. Lab was exhausting and involved a huge amount of concentration (like usual), so I had to refuel my brain with a pumpkin spice donut and coffee. HEAVEN!
I worked on some organic chemistry reading before heading out to the class at 6 p.m. Right after it ended, I biked straight over to my tutoring class (my school offers free tutoring classes and the teaching assistants usually are MUCH better at explaining material). By the time I got out at 8:30, I was starving! Kyle and I met up at our favorite Vietnamese restaurant and ordered our usual.
So that was today in a nutshell! My weekend starts early, though, because I only have one class on Thursday and Friday (hooray!).
I’m looking forward to a good night’s sleep and being able to catchup on all of my work. Hope you got through hump day!
