A Day in the Life

I feel like blogging so here goes. I don't really have any news so I'll do a "Day in the Life of Marnie" for what I have done so far today...


8am - Wake up, draaag myself out of bed and get ready for the day while listening to the Mamma Mia soundtrack in an attempt to wake me up and get me going.

9:30am - Listen to the rain and decide to grab my giant umbrella - you know the kind that looks like a cane and doesn't fit in any bag? why do I never buy a new umbrella when it isn't raining? - and walk over to the trolley station across the river and up the stairs to the platform while listening to the music on my iPhone on random, which turned out to be "Lovefool" by The Cardigans.  

(view from my balcony today - windy & raining and they're in the middle of re-roofing the complex, fun to wake up to every morning...)

9:45am - Ride the trolley to SDSU, not too busy today - seems that the undergrads are beginning to stop going to their classes.

10:00am - Meet with my study abroad advisor to finish up the rest of what I need for my application. Now I just have to finalize and turn in the application. I am sure I have a lot more to do before I actually go to Norway but it'll be nice to just have the application done.

10:30am - Ride trolley back home...was gonna study at the library but I was too tired to pack my bag before my meeting. Plus it was raining so I just wanted to go snuggle up on the couch and study at home where I could be warm and cozy. Oh and it didn't rain the whole time I was out - good thing I brought that umbrella...

11:00am - Nap time! I hardly ever take naps but with the cloudy, rainy weather that was all I wanted to do. Plus all my schoolwork consists of reading and, as all of you probably know, it is VERY easy to fall asleep when you are tired and have to read a textbook...

1:00pm - WAH - work at home - for GTI. We now have our audiobooks for L.E.T. and P.E.T. available on iTunes (big deal for us) so people can buy the books easier. So I was working on writing out simple instructions for how to use iTunes and find our books. I think I was pretty clear but it's always hard to "dumb it down" when it is something I use every single day.

2:00pm - Research for my Marketing project while watching "Sleeping With The Enemy" on TV. We are designing a marketing plan for Target...which has just made me fall in love with it even more and I just started researching! We are going to propose a campaign for improving their website and online presence. And the movie? It was on, I've never seen it...it was ok. 

4:00pm - Research for my IT business class project while watching "The Godfather" on TV (it was the next movie on AMC). For IT we are doing a group paper about Web 2.0 and the affect it has on business. For those of you who don't know, Web 2.0 is pretty much the idea of how the Internet now provides interconnectivity and interactivity between people and between businesses and people. Interesting stuff...

5:00pm - Taking a break to do some Jillian...after I finish this blog. 

Tonight - Reading about forecasting, marketing and finance. Whoopee...

Well that's a normal non-school or work day anyway. Hard life, huh? ;)



  1. Wow that is a tough life... I just ordered a Jillian DVD, it sounds like fun...well, I don't know that fun is the right word... :)
