Day 1: August 31, 2009, Monday


This is the first day of my experiment, "Project 365," for Engl 190-001 "Honors Writing Seminar." Not many exciting events occurred today. I went to class and came home. However after I came home, I realized that I wanted some new notebooks and binders for my classes, because I did not buy them yet. I walked all the way across campus the University Union and the school store. This takes about 10 minutes from my dorm room at Richmond Hall. As I was pursuing through the many different colored notebooks and other school supplies, I realized I should wait before I buy anything and see what I needed for my other class, Accounting, that I had not taken yet. I was wandering around the store, when I spotted a grocery area. I realized I needed peanut butter because I had ran out the night before. It turned out to be a really good after dinner snack. As I was waiting in line, I spotted a pack of twenty-four 16.9 oz. water bottles. I came to the conclusion that water was always a good thing to have in a dorm room, especially if my only alternative was the bathroom sink. As I was making this decision, I did not take into account the journey back to Richmond. It was a grueling journey; especially because I am not in shape. When I finally got back to my room, I drank two of the bottles I had just purchased. That was the most exciting experience of the day.
