When I awake in the morning I put on my watch grab my phone and make my way downstairs and turn on the coffee pot. When I get downstairs my dogs great me with their wagging tails awaiting their morning scratch. After their scratching and petting I bring them outside so they can take care of their business. After this I pour myself a cup of coffee and sit down and turn on the TV to watch the morning news. The local news has generally gone through all of their stories in about a half an hour. Once I am satisfied that I know what the weather is going to be like for the day I plan for what to do next. During my planning stage I eat breakfast and take my medications. Mowing the lawn and weedwacking takes about 2 hours. In the process of mowing I generally notice things that need attention, and take care of them. In between this the dogs need to be let out a few times, plus I play with them for some time so things take much longer then they should. When this is finished I eat some lunch. Next up is my long-awaited bike ride. I collect my gear and place my bike on the carrier and head out. The bike ride lasts around 3 hours plus about 30 a minuet of travel each direction. I return home and put my bike and gear away and take a shower. I prepare food for supper and eat a decent dinner. Now it’s time for more news watching to see what happened that day. After that disappointment I take out my book and read for a few hours. Now that I have relaxed I take the dogs out for their final trip outdoors for the day and go to bed. I watch tv for about an hour then I go to sleep.

Today I pulled into campus driving 25mph listening to metallica until I arrived at the parking garage.
When I arrived at the parking garage I clicked the ticket button to give me my slip and raise the front gate.
Once gate was open I drove in and traveled up two levels higher in the garage before parking next to three other vehicles.
Once parked I finished my coffee turned the music and car off and gathered all my materials for class.
When I had all my stuff I started making my way out of the parking garage and towards the campus pond.
On the way to the pond I passed a few different groups of people students, faculty, campus police and a military member.
After I had finally reached the pond after about 5 minutes of walking I started to search for leaf miners to document for our class project.
I slowly walked around 3/4 of the pond checking all the plants and flowers and trees before I finally found a good single leaf example of the leaf miners.
After taking the pictures that I needed I proceeded to class to start making the figure.
I walked another 7 minutes from the pond up to Morrill building 3 room 311
Once in class I found my spot and started logging on and loading up the computer.
I then emailed all my new photos of the leaf miners to myself so I could open them online.
After getting all the pictures online I opened and used inkscape and gimp photo editing software to construct my figure.

Method Paragraph Practice

    There are a lot of locations that had to be visited in order to successfully complete a day. The locations vary in distance, but most of them can be reached by driving. I drove to these locations with my windows down, and music playing loudly enough to cause hearing impairment if subjected to its presence over a relatively large period of time. I planned all driving routes as the fastest paths towards my destinations. The drives were planned so that arrival would be 15 minutes earlier than any scheduled appointment. All appointments were reached early except for one appointment that was reached exactly on time.

Detailed day

I woke up and I picked up my glasses from my nightstand and put them on. I then picked up my phone and scrolled through my notifications and after that I disconnected my phone from its charger and started watching youtube videos. A little bit later, I got up stretched and walked over to my Playstation and turned it on with my controller as I picked up my headset. I turned on my tv and walked over to my computer chair. As I sat down and booted up NBA 2K19, I checked to see if any of my friends were online while the game loaded up. I loaded up MyTeam and checked to see if my KD sold. I quickly redeemed my 370,000 MyTeam points from selling my KD. I then threw my controller and headset on my bed and got up . I walked over to the kitchen while I greeted everyone in my house. I cut up some strawberries and a banana, then I scooped out about a cup of vanilla ice cream, and I took milk out of the fridge and poured out about ¾ cups. I then made a milkshake by blending all those ingredients together. 

Daily Activities

Submitted by srbuckley on Thu, 07/11/2019 - 15:28

I woke up this morning at 5:45 in the morning. I walked into my kitchen to make coffee. I also used the bathroom. I proceeded to return to my room while the coffee brewed to check my phone. I texted my friend to ask her how quitting cigarettes was going for her. I returned to the kitchen to pour my freshly brewed coffee and add sugar and cream. I stirred the coffee and returned to my room. I turned the television on and watched some true crime television. My cat started meowing so I made my way back into the kitchen to feed him. I hadn’t slept well and was still tired so I lay back down to doze off when I watched TV. I fell back asleep for a while and got up in time for school. I took a shower and got ready to face the world. I got into my car and proceeded to drive over to the UMASS campus. I found a decent parking spot and went into my class. I went around the campus looking for leaf miner specimens. I found several leaves that had leaf miner activity and documented them. Class was over and I got back into my car to drive home. On the way home, I stopped at the local Stop and Shop to get a few groceries. I checked out and drove home to make supper. My son wanted meatballs so I made him meatballs. After making the meatballs I assembled a couple of grinders for my son. I cleaned up after supper and proceeded to my room to finish writing my post for the blog for this class. Next, I watched some crime television to put an end to my night. I took my meds after the show and fell asleep.
