My New Schedule

In preparation of my new schedule, beginning August 18th, I have decided to start waking up early so that it won't be so torturous when I have to do it for real in about a month. I was figuring out what times I'll have to do everything in order to get them all accomplished, and I am a bit saddened by what I have discovered. For starters, I have to wake up at 4:15 in the morning. Every morning. Monday-Friday. That is going to be really difficult for me. I'm a natural early riser, but damn! That's ridiculous. For me, anything before 5, 5:30 is early. It's going to be a pain in the fucking ass, I'll tell you that much. So here's my plan:
4:15am Wake my ass up
4:30-5am Jog on treadmill
5-6am Shower, get dressed, etc.
6am Get Alex ready
6:25am Leave the house
6:45-4pm Teach
4:30pm Pick up Alex
5pm Make dinner, get ready for next day, etc.
6pm Lesson planning/preparation
7pm Alex time (quality time, homework, etc.)
Jog on treadmill
8pm Chill
9pm Be asleep

I'm going to feel like a chicken with its head cut off. It is really hard for me to wake up and instantly start working out, but I'm just gonna have to get over it. First of all, it gets my blood pumping, boosts my energy, and gets me pumped for the day so I'm not walking around like a zombie, feeling all sluggish all day long. Plus, it's a lot easier to get in a cold ass shower when I'm all hot and sweaty. It makes it bearable, and sometimes even enjoyable.
Anyway, I really am going to have to buckle down, get serious, get organized, and stay focused. I won't have time to run around in the mornings, making sure Alex's backpack is ready to go and packing our lunches. I have to start doing that the night before. I'm going to have virtually no life, especially if I continue working at Hollywood Tan on Saturdays, which I REALLY REALLY REALLY don't want to do, but financially, I may not have a choice. So basically, I'll be able to go out and have fun Saturday nights, and that's about it. I'll be in bed by 9 every other night of the week. I am setting my alarm- not for 4:15 tomorrow, but rather 4:45. I thought I'd ease into this slowly. Also, I don't want to be up for 4 hours before I have to be at work tomorrow morning. I guess I better get ready for bed....already. :(
