How is that life seems to get faster and busier with every passing day of life. When I used to check my voicemail or email it would just be a simple "hi there and hello" from a friend or the heads up that a good band was coming to town. Nowadays I cant check either without my day planner and a pencil in my hand. Where did the college days of sitting with my best friend eating pizza and watching trash tv (what? emlimidate is not trash!! she would say right now!) go? It feels like only yesterday that we were doing that every other day in her cozy little apartment which we loving called "the A.P.T" We would only get off of her couch to restock the popcorn bowl or refill our vodka/gatorades. Then on the occasion that we decided to go out, because we got the aforementioned message about a good band, we would take 3 hours to get ready if we wanted to. Therefore our schedule would look like this:
11:00am- roll out of bed
11:30am- class
12:15pm- leave class
12:30pm- call friend on phone to complain about class
1:00 pm- nap
2:30 pm- trash tv
5:00 pm- shower
6:00 pm- more mindless television coupled with leftover pizza
7:00 pm- blowdry hair
7:45 pm- start make-up process
8:20 pm- try on outfit #1
8:30 pm- try on outfit #2
8:40 pm- try on outfit #3
8:50 pm- try on outfit #4
9:00 pm- try on outfit #5
9:10 pm- put outfit #1 back on.
2:15 am- stumble back to the apartment
Start over again from the top....
NOWADAYS....
7:00 am- Roll out of bed and put on outfit picked out and ironed the night before, grab cup of coffee from coffee pot set on timer.

9:45 pm- leave volunteer activity

Start over again from the top....
