Blog For Tori (aka A Day at Dordt)

So, it was recently brought to my (Kyle's) attention that this blog has not been updated in over a week? NOW WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS? Oh wait, it's me. Shoot.

Well, to make up for that, I took a special request from Tori Schreur for this blog post. She wanted me to describe a typical day at Dordt, so I will attempt to do just that. Here goes, Tori.


So, the first thing I do on a typical day at Dordt is wake up from a semi-sleepless night thanks to Ben's wonderful snoring. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I get up at 8, and at 7 or Tuesday and Thursday. For Ben it's the opposite, so that kinda sucks for him. But for me, it's great fun.


I climb down our unmovable ladder and stumble to the shower. After that, I decide whether I will go to breakfast or not. Mind you, I still eat breakfast, just not always at the commons. But I can save those meals up and use them at the grill later, so it's all good. Pop tarts are tasty.

Occasionally, kittens will find their way into my stash.

Anyway, so I go to classes in the morning do a little homework in between, go to chapel on Wednesday, and occasionally take a nap. It really all depends on what day it is, but I'm not going to get into that. Then it's time for lunch. I usually eat lunch in a hurry because I have class right after it, so that's not the best time for socializing. I'll sit at a table with my friends, but not be able to talk because I'm too busy scarfing down food so I'm not late.


After my afternoon classes are done, I'll relax a little bit. When Ben leaves for basketball, I sometimes go for a run. Or other days I just sit on the couch on my computer. One of those two. Then comes dinner, where we have a good time laughing about stupid and ridiculous things with friends.

Like this. Seriously, what?

 

After that, it's time for a little homework. Unless, of course, it is Wednesday or Thursday, because I work those nights. I have the "privilege" of calling alumni and friends of the college and asking for donations. It can be a very, ahem, humbling experience. I got cussed out the other night because I called a number and asked for someone who was apparently the ex-wife of the guy I was talking to. He wasn't very happy with me.


Late at night, I may just do homework, hang out with friends, or watch something online. And then it's time for bed. Rinse, and repeat. But, it's a lot of fun and is a little more exciting than what this may have made it out to be. I can't speak for Ben's day, as he is not here right now. But I would assume it's more or less the same.

Except Ben is accompanied by women wherever he goes.
