A typical day for me as a University of Montana student usually ends up looking like this. I wake up around 7 AM to attend my 8 o’clock classes and after class I venture back to my apartment to eat and to do some last minute homework. After this, I head to campus for my afternoon classes which take up a good chunk of my day, especially if I have lab, but I am usually done around 3:30 or 5:00. After I finish classes for the day, I come back to my apartment, gather up my basketball gear and workout sheet and head to the Campus Recreation Center for 2 to 3 hours. I usually spend a majority of my time here because I just love playing basketball and lifting. On Wednesdays, I hang around the gym until my intramural football game. After I finish up my football game I go and hit up my intramural basketball game at 7:00 PM. When I get done with this I return home, eat and study for a couple of hours before I go to bed. The University of Montana offers great recreation facilities that I feel comfortable going to every day. On top of the recreation facilities my classes make things interesting for me as well. I enjoy the University because I can manage my course work while doing activities that I enjoy.

A typical day in my life usually involves me going to my classes and labs. Depending on when my classes start is when I will get to the University. I do like the days when my classes don’t start until after noon which means I can sleep in. Between classes I usually study and do some class reading or eat lunch. If it is one of those rare days when I don’t really need to study then I go visit some of the people around campus. On Wednesdays I go to the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) meetings. When I can, I do meet will my mentee because I am involved with the Native American Peer Mentoring Program.
