A Day in the Life

Adam Booth ‘04

by Meghan Kirkwood

5:00 p.m. Boulder in the matroom with Beals and Danny.

5:30 p.m. Switch to flipping out on a punching bag because of lack of patience and control (runners turn into emotionally unstable ninjas when not running).

6:00 p.m. Enjoy hot steamy PEC shower, dry off, NOT put on clothes before going to cowles.

6:30 p.m. “Dinner in a PEC towel” night at Cowles. At least I can use my hands today.

7:30 p.m. Set up camp in Burling with a backpack full of beer and Marlboros, in addition to the usual books. Take several beer and smoke breaks throughout the evening.

10:30 p.m. Ambushed by other stupid people with snowballs while taking said break.

12:00 a.m. Return to $lum, eat big cookie to kick off cookie day. Drink five beers so I can call it a binge drinking night if someone happens to ask me to fill out a survey.

2:00 a.m. Finally chilled out enough to go to bed.

7:50 a.m. Wake up, ride bike to campus, start eating big cookie during class.

10:00 a.m. Suffer first cookie coma of day.

10:50 a.m. Come to just in time for next class.

12:00 p.m. Big fat plateful of cookies at Quad for lunch. Chicken fingers have never looked so finger-lickin’ good.

1:15 p.m. Sleep all afternoon, if by sleep all afternoon I mean suffer through an excruciatingly long Intro Chem lab.

4:30 p.m. Man the Kenya study abroad table in the Forum, visited by a grand total of one person. Cannot enjoy refreshments due to lack of cookies.

5:00 p.m. Wheezer classic b-ball game, the worst balling you will ever see on campus. And it just keeps going...
