On a good day
On a good day, I get up at 5:30 AM to go to work. My commute is about an hour and fifteen minutes. On a good day, I get home from work at 6:30 PM. On a good day, I do homework from 6:30 PM until about 11 PM. You see, I’m working on a master’s degree. The cycle starts over Monday through Friday like clockwork. On weekends I do more homework. When I’m not doing homework I have drill with the National Guard. For that, I have to get up around 4:30 AM.
Some days, I’m not sure what keeps me repeating this routine over and over as the years pass. I have done this for about five years now like clockwork. I think it is breaking my body down or aging me a little faster than I would otherwise be aging.
I hope to retire by age 55. I want my time to be mine. I know exactly what I’ll do with it. I have enough personal goals to fill three of the 80-year lifetimes I can statistically expect to live based on my genetics, lifestyle choices and education level. Time is precious. On a good day, I sleep in until 7 AM.
