As an ROTC cadet, life can be very busy, so it is important I keep myself organized.  Every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning, I wake up between 4:30am and 5:00am. Once I’m awake, I get myself ready and begin my walk over to a designated place in the University of Pittsburgh to do our physical training, or PT.  PT typically begins at 06:00am and ends at 7:00a.m. Then, I walk  back to Carlow and shower. At around 8:00a.m. , I eat breakfast and begin some schoolwork for the day. After I finish my schoolwork, I eat lunch.  I usually eat between 11:00 and 11:30. Once I am done eating, I have some free time to practice playing my ukulele and do whatever else I want until class at 16:00.  After my first class ends at 17:15,. I get dinner at 17:45, and then I head to my second class.  My second class goes from 18:00-21:00. Then I come back to my room and get ready for bed, check my emails, and eventually get in bed to fall asleep by 22:00.
