My Personal Cultural Inventory

My cell phone woke me up around 9:15 with the ringtone "All Summer Long" by Kidrock.  I get out of bed and go to the bathroom.  After that I decided what I was going to wear to class.  Since I heard earlier in the week that it was going to be a little colder the next couple days, I put on jeans.  I then picked out my blue Hollister shirt and put it on.  I walked upstairs and let my dog outside to go to the bathroom.  I let him in and then decided to eat some breakfast.  I couldn't decide between fruit loops, cookie crisp or cinnamon toast crunch.  I decided on fruit loops because of the fruity taste.  After my delicious breakfast, I brushed my teeth and was off to class.

On the way to class, I listen to 99.5, which plays country music.  I've noticed so many different types of country on this channel that fascinates me.  In my head I try and think of what kind of people would like the specific type of country music that is on at that very moment.  My personal favorites are Keith Urban, Gary Allan and Kenny Chesney.  I stop at a red light and see a bumper stick on the car in front of me that reads, "Obama 08."  The next red light I am stopped at I see a sticker on a car that reads, "NObama 08."  It is very interesting to see the different kinds of style that gets put into politics.  Politics are so important in the United States right now that people go to different extremes to get their point across.  

I arrive at school and park in the "F" parking lot at school.  The reason I park there is because on Fridays I only have my math class which is room 1096 in the CASL building.  As soon as I walk through the door that is from the parking lot I parked in, my class is located in the first room on the right.  I arrive in my math class and sit down to get prepared for class.  The class ends at 11:10 and I walk to my car.  I notice people sitting on benches smoking cigarettes and reading the newspaper.  I get in my car and drive home.  After I am home for about an hour, my friend Joe calls me to ask if I wanted to go to the rec center to play basketball and to work out.  It sounds like a great idea to me so we decide to meet there at 2:45.  I arrive there around 2:45 and meet up with Joe.  We get asked to play in a basketball game right away and play for about two hours.  After basketball, we head over to the lifting part of the center and bench press.  Everyone around me is listening to their Ipods while running on the treadmill, pedaling on the bike or lifting weights.  Joe and I lifted for about an hour before we decided that we were tired and decided to go home.  

I arrive home and as soon as I walked through my front door, I could smell pizza.  I took a long, cold shower and got dressed.  I decided to just put on a t-shirt and sweat pants for dinner.  I ate dinner which consisted of pizza, breadsticks and salad.  It was very delicious and filled me up perfectly for the rest of the night.  My friend Brian calls me and asks if I wanted to go to the fair and I told him yes.  He picked me up and we went to my old grade school fair.  At local fairs, it is very easy to notice the different styles of people.  I saw Goth, preppy, gangster and punk just to name a few.  We left there at about 11:30 and Brian dropped me off at my house.  I ended the day by brushing my teeth, washing my face and watching sportscenter.

I learned that every single day is different, but there are a lot of cultures that are the same.  Even if it consists of music, bumper stickers or clothing, there are different themes of my daily life that are interesting.  I just had a normal day in my life, but different things seem to jump out at me that fascinate me.
