I was reminded today of how much I am a creature of habit. I order the same thing every time I go to a restaurant, I always run the same route, and I wake up at the same time every day. If anything in my routine changes, my whole day can be thrown off kilter and I have to play catch up in an attempt to restore the balance and harmony. I decided to change my routine today by not taking my whole set of keys to school. I don't drive, so all I need is my house key, or so my mind reasoned at 6:30 a.m. After my first class, I started walking to my locker to get my Evidence casebook only to realize I'd left my locker key at home in spite of my genius idea. I was thankfully able to make it through the day without any of my course materials, although it was a long night spent catching up on readings I normally do in between classes.
