My alarm rings at 6:00 AM. I check my phone, and almost instantly press snooze. I start trying to fall back asleep realizing it’s that time already where I have to attempt to leave my house about 1 hour and 20 minutes before class, which would be 6:20. Everyday is a different battle. I snooze every ten minutes until 6:30 everytime, unless I need to shower. If I need to shower (which means I didn’t shower the night before out of laziness, which is everyday anyways) I need to be up by 6:20. Once again, I never am. I put clothes on, go to the powder room, fix my hair, brush my teeth, wash my face, blow my nose, get my backpack and pocket items.I have the same setup for everyday. My keys and Wallet go into my left pocket, and my phone goes into my right. I have a Blackberry Bold 9900 for anyone that wonders. Anyways, I leave my house, and then I have to battle another issue, whether or not to buy a loosie for the rest of the walk. the closest loosie store that’s open at this time, which is almost always 7 AM ish, give or take 5 minutes. No matter what the day, I end up buying it. The loosie store is 3 avenues 1 street away from me, brooklyn blocks. I buy it and have 1 avenue, 3 streets too finish it, perfect timing. I make it down the 86th ST Station. Almost every single time, the train is leaving as I’m paying for my fare, swiping my card, or running down the steps. Speaking of running down the steps, one day i was raining, and I had an umbrella in one hand, half opened as I struggled to close it, while I was listening to music. I finally got it into my bag, took out my wallet to get my card when realized I saw a lady swiping into the revolving doors really fast which made me realize I was about to miss the train. I took out my metro card into my right hand and held the wallet into my left and swiped very fast. I then preceded to make it down the staircase particularly fast for a rainy day. I slept a third of the way through the steps, slid down the rest, bouncing on my ass. My back was burning and I was thanking life that I didn’t hit my head. That instant I realized the train was riding away. I got really mad. I went to sit down, and then checked my wallet for my ID’s and stuff. AT this time, I had always kept my Baruch ID in a compartment where you can’t see it unless you search for it when you open the wallet. I remembered that I decided to move it to the visible part, but forgot I decided that and kept it in the part I wouldn’t be able to see it in (try to keep up). So when I open my wallet, since I saw only my chase card, I thought I didn’t lose anything (I thought it was in the hidden part. The next R instantly comes (making me feel even more stupid) and I get on. Only two stops did I realize my money was gone, my Baruch ID was gone, and my metro card was completely bent and couldn’t be used anymore.
ANYWAYS, I wait for the R which almost always takes at least 6 minutes. It comes and I take it 3 stops to 59th street. From there I get out and wait for the N train. 20% of the time it’s already in the station waiting for that R, and the rest of the times it takes at least 7 minutes. I almost always only just make it to the first stop in manhattan when class has started, no later though, if anything it’s earlier, which is the only good thing in any of this. I get off at 23rd ST in Manhattan, and walk to the VC. I take the elevators then the escalators to the 11th floor, walk down to the 10th, and go to class, so enjoyable.I sit in class and try very hard to pay attention, which works most of the time. 25 minute break, then a history class where I have not once payed attention. That’s my last class. I take the train home, hang around anywhere for 15 to 30 minutes. My girlfriend meets me, we go to her house, I eat food, cuddle, relax/hangout, her mom comes. We hangout in her room doing random stuff like watching movies. At 10 ish I leave and go home, use my computer till usually 1AM, then sleep and repeat. The end
