The alarm rings at 6:10 on August 13 2009. I slip out of bed, dragging my drooping self into the kitchen, and drop a couple of Eggo waffles into the toaster. The position of the sun reads approximately 7:00 time for me and my fellow senior cross country buddies to take our morning run. At 9:00, I drive my fatigued body back home. At 11:45, after eating a quick lunch, I start brainstorming for possible application themes and topics. Writer's block never fails to kick in. At 5:00 I become the LTHS Drumline Captain for 4 hrs and 30 mins. Oh yeah, did I mention this is summer vacation?
