...of the good old spring conference. It means three days of listening to old folks from China and Tanzibasomething telling random stories and it means NO HOMEWORK OR CLASSES (excepting an online class). It also means white glove, but that's not too troublesome. I am especially happy for the break happening when it did; I need it.
Here's what my days will be looking like for the rest of the semester (leaving a little room for life's left hooks): On weekdays I get up between six and seven, drink some gatorade mix, and go running (alternating between distance jogs and hill sprints). Then I have some devotions, followed by studying (usually Greek) until Greek class at 9. Classes are done by 2:30.
At this point I play a little music and pretend like I can dance for three or four minutes to fight off lethargy (currently using breakdance videos to learn to toprock). At some point in the middle of the day I do the beginner balance drills from
Other things that I do in evenings are general boxing workouts (differ a little every day), occasional sparring, and lots of small general tasks that I manage to accumulate (where the heck do they come from?). Half the difficulty in a training regimen is planning it out so that it is progressive and specific. Tracking and adjusting that plan is as much work as doing the exercises. Sometimes, if I have taken any photographs, I load them onto my computer in the evening. Haven't taken the time to sort through them yet =P.
On Wednesdays I have church from about 7 - 9 (I'm going to "Grace Baptist"); on Fridays I am involved with an outreach called "Coal Mine." Sometimes it is a time to make connections in coffee shops and such. Other times, I am more proactive and do politically incorrect things like suggesting that Jesus is the only salvation for men. After a busy week, I like poker on Saturdays, but this weekend my poker partners are gone.
I suppose it isn't especially romantic. But that's okay. "A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work." (Ecclesiastes 2:24, NIV). Tonight, I just have some rounds of shadowboxing, core workout, and then finishing some cleaning for white glove, and then sweet sweet rest. Recommended new old music that I've been listening to: Cat Stevens, Tea For The Tillerman.
UPDATE
2/22 - Extra-curricular activities during the week are now beginning to disappear entirely. Not much time for anything beyond superbasic workouts (abs, pushup variations). I've also learned when to take a nap so that I have the energy to just keep working throughout the day. I do music on some days but it's getting pretty inconsistent; I downloaded some sheet music for Final Fantasy VII songs, WHOO now I just have to find time to learn it.

My roommate is learning how to breakdance. Check out facebook or some previous entries.
I wish my days were as scheduled as yours; though I live by the planner, my afternoons and evenings aren't nearly as exciting or regular as yours appear to be.
