Brenden's day
6:45 a.m. - Woke up earlier than usual for a busy day.
7:45 a.m. - Went to a presentation at Magers Health and Wellness. I’m involved in the process for choosing the new student wellness coordinator.
9 a.m. - For a before-class treat, I grabbed a strawberry açai refresher (with light ice and no berries!) from Starbucks at Plaster Student Union (PSU).
9:30 a.m. - Class in Cheek Hall for algebraic modeling and reasoning. It was a review day
after last week’s test.
11 a.m. - Today is Fountain Day, an event celebrating the fountain on campus. I scored a T-shirt, got free socks and enjoyed some pizza near the fountain.
Noon - I found a comfy spot upstairs at the PSU to work on homework and prepare for the SGA cabinet meeting tonight.
2 p.m. - In Siceluff Hall for my technical writing class.
3:15 p.m. - Back to the PSU to grab a snack before my first meeting of the afternoon.
4 p.m. - Went to the SGA cabinet meeting, where directors from each SGA department socialize and share updates on things happening in their department.
5 p.m. - Chick-fil-A at the PSU for a quick dinner.
5:30 p.m. - Time for the SGA meeting! Everyone in student government goes over projects, priorities and progress.
6:30 p.m. - I joined the Bearpawcalypse group to cheer on the Baseball Bears at the Missouri State vs. Mizzou game! GO BEARS!
9 p.m. - Back at Monroe Apartments for homework. I ended the night with more baseball — I love to listen to Chicago Cubs games while I work.
12:30 a.m. - Time to get ready for bed and turn in for the night.
