5:00AM - Wake up. Reluctantly. Become immediately suspicious about it still being 80 degrees out, even at five in the morning.
5:15AM - Actually get out of bed, again, reluctantly. Make some sort of caffeinated beverage. Vow not to feel bad for having coffee, as no one should have to get up this early and not be allowed coffee.
5:30AM - Chant "Sri Ram Jai Ram" 108 times. There is no making this cooler than it is, so get over it people, I'm a yogi. And now I'm a yogi with a mantra. (That definitely needs to be an action adventure movie tag-line. "She was a yogi...with a maaaantra.")
6:00AM - Start my home practice. This usually starts with some perturbed pacing around, as my body is in full-on refusal mode about being asked to move at 6AM. But, eventually I kneel down on the mat and begin.
7:00AM - Cold shower. (This is not for any reason more exciting than that my body temperature from the constant heat and physical activity is so high the cold water doesn't even phase me.)
7:30AM - Make food for the day--this usually means an apple, some carrots and hummus and some sort of rice concoction. Did I tell you I'm going vegetarian...finally? Aw yeeeeeah! You're welcome, animals everywhere.
8:00 - Leave house, loaded down with books and food and notebooks.
9:00AM - 5:00PM - Learn to teach yoga, learn Sanskrit, learn anatomy, learn restorative yoga, learn kids yoga, take Kundalini workshop, learn twists, learn inversions, learn standing poses, learn the sutras, learn the koshas, learn the doshas, learn the yamas, learn the niyamas, learn the eight limbs, laugh, eat some food--but not very much, get exhausted, cry a little bit--or want to, take notes, chant, dance around, laugh, explode.
5:30 - 7:00PM - Maybe a study meeting. Maybe a mentor meeting. Maybe a class.
7:30 - 10PM - Do homework. Lots of it. Be frustrated by how much homework there is.
10PM - Chant "Sri Ram Jai Ram" 108 times, if I can stomach it.
10:30PM - Go to bed. Fall into a deep, exhausted but happy sleep.
Repeat, Repeat, Repeat
