As I sit in my cubicle at work, I realize how boring my life can be at times. I’m constantly doing something, but I have little time for fun. So what’s a day in the life of Megan like? Well, since you asked…

As most of you know, I’ve worked a full time job as an administrative assistant to an engineering group, Monday through Friday, for a year (and a day!) now. I wake up at the ungodly hour of 5:00 a.m. (Yes, it’s as bad as it sounds) and I’m usually at work by about 6:15 a.m. At work, I perform the exciting tasks of scheduling meetings, making copies, updating excel documents, etc… (It’s really not that bad, and I like that my job is pretty low-key most of the time.) Being that I get to work a little early, I’m able to leave around 2:30 p.m. (which is always nice). After arriving home at 3:00 p.m., I start on homework. As you know, I’m taking a full load of online classes this semester (Intro to Sociology, Human Growth & Development, Western World Lit., and Intro to Women’s Studies), so there is no time for relaxation. Okay, I lie. On Tuesdays and Fridays, I usually end up going to my brother-in-law’s basketball games, so I relax on the homework. On Mondays and Thursdays, I only do things that are necessary (because those are TV nights—How I Met Your Mother and Grey’s Anatomy). Wednesdays are the days that I really crack down on the reading and assignments. And I may or may not take homework breaks by playing the New Super Mario Bros. for Wii. Usually, during the week, I’m in bed by ten. Because I’m getting old. Or because I wake up seven hours later. Either way.

Ah, the weekends. I look forward to them. On Saturdays, I’m pretty useless. I always sleep in, and I rarely get any homework done. (Unless, of course, I waited until the last minute to write that 5-page paper and it’s due that night.) Usually, I try to talk Husband into going out for dinner and (sometimes) a movie. Or we stay home and watch old seasons of How I Met Your Mother (we’re finally on season five, though). On Sunday, I wake up as late as possible with just enough time to get ready for church (if I decide to go—which I haven’t for the past few Sundays). If I stay home, I just catch up on reading for school. At noon, Husband and I go to his great-grandma’s house for lunch. We do this every Sunday, and it’s always nice. We visit for about three hours, usually, and then we either go home and do nothing (or homework) OR go grocery shopping.

Really, that’s what my life is right now. It’s full of homework, real work, high school basketball games, HIMYM & Grey’s Anatomy, and going to bed early & waking up early.

If I had to live in your life for a week, what would it be like?
