Last night I blogged on school and things I thought might fall under the category of rituals, because honestly, I wasnt sure what my "rituals" were. After reading the blogs of a couple of my classmates, though, I think I understand more of what this assignment was about. If I had to say one thing about my life during the school year, it would be that everything is very carefully planned and timed. I dont have much free time so the time I do have is dedicated to homework and finishing errands that I need to complete. Every morning, except for Tuesday, I get up at 4 A.M. I first get dressed and then go downstairs and eat. I usually have a time frame for how long I should be in the kitchen, until 4:45, at the latest. By 5 I head outside to start my car to let it warm up then come back inside to pack everything I need for the day. At 5:25, I make sure I am out the door and on the way to the school. Monday Wednesday and Friday are the same every week. I am at the gym from 6:45 until 7:30. Then I grab a coffee from either the sub or the library. Then its class, the gym, class agian and finally going to pick up the little girl I babysit from school and work until six. Even at work I have timelines for myself in tasks I have to complete before the end of the day. The evenings after work are the only times that I dont have a strict schedule for myself. Although this probably makes my life sound a bit boring, it makes juggling everything much more bareable and I have always thrived on schedules and times.
When thinking of rituals in this light, it makes makes me much more aware of the presence of them in my own daily functioning.
