A day in the life of.... - Page 2

Amake · 09-26-2010, 01:42 AM

I wake up, turn on WoW and get drunk in the game the way I can't in real life. There's so much to do and drink in the game I don't have to think about our elections last week. Then I call a friend and see if she wants to watch some silly movies or something so we don't have to think about the election. Usually she has a bottle of wine and I have a bag of chips. Then we talk about taking a walk outside but realize there's too few distractions there and listen to music and trawl the Internet for funny pictures and shit until late at night.

I expect this will be the norm for the next four years at least.

I woke up around 7 am, watched the episode of Supernatural that came on this Friday, then got out of bed around 8 and went and made some eggs and waffles. I then proceeded to eat. I did some minor housework until noon then ate me a microwave pizza.

After I ate lunch I went into my room and recorded a bit of LPing and then decided to take a nap. I napped from 2 pm to 6ish. I then went to Wal-mart and bought groceries for the week.

I came home ate a late dinner and then some fudge cake and a glass of milk.

I then went upstairs and recorded a bit more on the LP and then I posted on the NPF.

I get up at 6:30, morning toilet till about 6:45, then I try to wake up for another fifteen minutes. Then I drive to work. Or rather mandatory service. In the colon examination department of a hospital. My work consists of moving beds with people in them back and forth. Sometimes it's a wheelchair or they come by foot, but that depends on the kind of examination they get. My work time goes till 16:00, though I often have to work till 16:30. But meh. Then I drive home. At home I eat some and then spend some time on my current obsession. Usually this is making music or a playing game, maybe reading some comics. Most of the time I have the GPD chat open in the background. So sometimes I just chat until I sleep. Right now I have to translate my cousin's paper on Shakespeare's Othello into English together with my mother and brother. My father doesn't help much, even though he's a native speaker, so fuck him. (let's just say my cousin should do it herself, ahem). I can only take so much horrible and repetitive writing. And there are only so many synonyms for one word. I mean, I don't mind repeating words, but having one three times in the same sentence just reads weird. Whatever it is I do, it's interrupted by my mandatory evening shower, usually at around 19:00. Bedtime is 22:00. Or later. Heck. Then I try to fall asleep for about one hour, where I have a lot of cool ideas I never write down.

THE END.

EDIT: The above usually applies to any given weekday, just to be sure.

I am currently stuck between inspiration and laziness on making my Battle for Wesnoth campaign (apparently I lost my latest version of 1 year old in a reboot and all I have are earlier versions). It was amazing insight into game design, specifically how technology cooperates in the same way of conscious mountain lion being neutered cooperates. The whole concept sucked and I was inept at coding back then.

I've had about a year of no practice and a plan to make it better. Maybe parts 2, 3 and 4 will become a reality once I get over this hump.

And I got Fallout 3 for ten bucks at my local pawn shop and I regret buying games at full price that were less satisfying than this one (I mean, you could choose to kill everyone if you wanted, everyone, that's like a shitload of negative karma.)

Well since my day only started now, I'll start from yesterday at this time.

Woke up Saturday at 215pm due to working the night before until 6am. Ordered sushi for myself, my supervisor and one of my paramedics and showered. Surfed the net until about 415pm and then left my apartment to go pick up said sushi and drive to work. Got to work around 530pm and had my sushi dinner, starting work at 6pm. Worked my shift from 6pm-6am dispatching ambulances and organizing, editing and scanning all our reports from the day. I also watched some tv and played sega on my netbook. Unfortunately I don't have wireless over at work so I can't get online and play the MMO I'm into now.

Got home at around 715am after my relief dispatcher was late (again) and promptly fell asleep. Woke up at 215pm and now I'm surfing the net and planning on mustering the energy to get dressed while the headache I woke up with is slowly going away due to a powerful mix of pills. Soon I'll head out to work again to fill in for another dispatcher on vacation.

working weekends sucks. I like my usual mon-fri day shift.

CelesJessa · 09-27-2010, 01:49 PM

My average school day starts at 8 or 9 am (depending on the day) and I'm in class until the early afternoon. On Mon/wed/fri I usually stay after and work on some project in some class (usually ceramics). Then I usually head home and chill on the computer for awhile, doing various nerdy things. Eventually I work on whatever digital-related art project I have (aka, Animation or Motion Graphics) or I dink around online forever, and usually end up playing around in one of my art programs (today, I learned how to make things sparkle, so I'm downloading a video of Raiden and I'm going to make him sparkle. It will be glorious.)

Unrelated: Man I am a nerd.

Every other Thursday is my late night class that is supposed to go from 6-8 but lecture always goes over so long we never get out until after 9 (for serious.)

SUMMARY: My day is mostly homework and things that kind of look like homework.

Wigmund · 09-27-2010, 02:03 PM

Mon/Wed/Fri: I wake up about 6am, feed the cats, head to college.
I have a Spanish class (last one I need for the college's core requirements) at 7:30 am, then it's Chemistry II at 9:30 followed by General Geology at 10:30. Finally I have Principles of Biology at 2:30pm. Hardest thing is not leaving campus and heading home during the three hour break I have between Geology and Biology.

Tuesday: Same morning routine, but I have my Biology Lab from 8 to 11am, then at 11:30 I work in the University's library for four hours.

Thursday: I have Chemistry Lab from 8-10:30am and Geology Lab starting at 12:30pm. I

I work Saturdays at the Library from 10am - 4pm

My evenings usually involve doing a bit of homework necessary for the lectures or prep for the labs, but I'm mostly doodling horrific fanart over on the MSPA forums or playing Minecraft and playing with my two cats.

Spent 9am-11am this morning playing with my voice, I'm currently trying to become a better singer. I plan on doing that a little more once my lunch settles. Then I'll go exercise for an hour or two in the garage, trying to lose some of my belly. And then the rest of my day will be filled with boredom like most days seem to be lately... I really need to get a job.
