Routines

So much of life is made up by routines that we do not even notice it anymore. Students wake up at the same time, often eat the same thing in the morning, shower, do our bathroom business and go catch the bus to school, go to classes and come home for a supper, do some homework and sometimes go out for a beer and then go to sleep to get up and do it all over again. My grandpa for the last 45 years has awaken at 7 am, had a bowl of raisin bran (for fiber) and a piece of toast with butter on it, then turned on the T.V. (or radio) until 8:30 where he then goes for a 20 minute walk, he then reads every single article in the paper until 11, then showers and gets ready to go play the daily round of golf...When the weather is bad he will pull out his putting machine and golf tapes. We all live on some sort of routine, something that worked once for us so we figured we shouldn't change it. This can be good a thing for those of us that leave home because when you come back you can fall into the same routine and that to us feels like home. But I am here to beg of you to break routine, spice up your life. As a student try one day to wake up late so you have to rush to school, do it on purpose. I ask of my grandpa even just to try to throw some jam on his toast! This is a hard habit to break, if you don't believe me stay in your routines and try to break them after a while...It's tougher than you think.

I put my pants on one leg at a time...Some times I like to put both legs on, sometimes I wear different color socks and skip a class to go out to a random sketchy place for breakfast...Funny thing is my routine is not being routine, by everyday doing something different I am doing the same thing...Thus why life is made up of just a bunch of routines!

(this one may suck I have been awake for 10 minutes and thought I would write one before my first official day of the new job...woo hoo another first day!)
