THUR 9/13
7:30a-7:45a woke up late, dress really fast for work.

7:45a-8:30a bike to Saffron(my freelance job) to drop off tripod & camera, bike to work, i get to work at 8:20, stand outside for a few min to cool down, then bring my bike inside. there are 3 sets of glass doors i have to get through, 2 of which require a key. Although I would like to stop somewhere to get coffee, I'm usually not able to when I bike bc it's so hard to juggle a hot cup of coffee, a bike and 3 sets of auto-closing glass doors. A large elevator takes me up to the 4th floor office. One more set of wood doors go into the office, then i hook my bike up to the hanging bike rack. While going through the doors of the building, I almost always hit my back wheel with the door as it closes behind me. sucks.

8:30a-5:15p work

5:15p-5:45p walked out the same way i came in. biked to Saffron to meet becca.

5:45p-7:20p becca drives me to a photo shoot in humboldt park. i take photos, then she drives me back to the office (saffron). the property was in a "not-so-friendly" neighborhood. if i didn't have a ride there, i'd probably turn down the job. 7:20p-8:30p biked to cta blueline division stop. took the train to harlem stop. biked from cta to home.

8:30p-9:50p picked up miguel, borrowed dad's car to old navy bc miguel needed new clothes for school, then to target for school supplies, then back home.

9:50p-2:30a **homework  (I wanted to bike to dunkin donuts for coffee, so i could stay up later, but laziness got the best of me - would i have gone out for coffee if i had a car, i wonder?)

2:30a - fell asleep
