1. It's good to have a plan

Summer of '96. Two years back at school after a stint in the Army and working in a lumber yard/waiting tables/delivering pizza

In order to graduate in December I had to take 4 summer classes. I couldn't squeeze them into my schedule before or after.

7:30 am ingest food
8am-1pm class time
Ingest food
1pm to 4 maybe 5 work at the student commons
Ingest food
Sleep until midnight - the woman I'd just broken up with still lived in the same house so I lived in the "spare room"
12am - 7:30am study write prepare for tests.
7:30 ingest food

A week worth of class each day. Two classes at a time back to back.

At the very end I ran into a guy I'd been in classes with thoughout the accounting program. He looked right at me and said "You look like shit". I had barely seen the sun all summer.

I had a plan and I became very good at it. 3 A's and 1 B.
