10 AM:  Power Yoga: the best possible way to start my day!

12 Noon: Check email for instruction of what my assignment for the day is.... Ooh!  Today, I'm checking out a popular burger joint.  Looks like I'm covered for dinner.  The key with going over the instructions is to really read and comprehend EVERYTHING they are looking for.  For this assignment they have asked that I order very specific foods.

2 PM: Phone call with my dad.  He and my stepmom just got back from a long trip to Italy.  I'm so jealous of all the yummy food they ate!

3:30 PM: Walk to the Metro station to catch the subway downtown.  I love using public transportation, because it gives me a chance to catch up on my reading.  Today I'm re-reading "Weetzie Bat" by Francesca Lia Block.  Such a sweet, modern fairy tale, that reminds me of how it felt to be 16.

4:15 PM: A quick visit to a local museum.  I often wonder why I don't take more opportunities to explore local culture.

6 PM:  Stop by my assigned restaurant.  Order food while carefully observing my surroundings.  I try to be discreet as I time the workers as they do their tasks.    Check out the bathrooms, the doors, the counters, even take note of what each employee is doing.  After ordering, I sit down and wait for my food.  Eat.  Take note of the time.  And off I go, back to the subway then home.

7 PM:  Fill out an analysis of my observations and email to my supervisor.

8PM: Meet up with my friends for drinks.
