A Day in the Life

By Morgan Hausz

Sophia Pfannstiel, freshman - Sophia starts her day at the early time of 5 am to pack both her swim and school bags. Morning practice is at Texas Ford Aquatics from 6 to 7:20 am, and she then has 10 minutes to change before she leaves the pool and heads straight to school! After a 7½ hours of classes and taking to her friends all day long, she goes home for about 20 minutes to change before going to yet another swim practice at her swim club which lasts from 4:45-7pm. Here, not only does she swim, but she has 30-45 minutes of workouts where she does pullups, v-ups, medicine ball workouts, stretch cords, and so many other exercises to gain lean muscle before she swims! She swims sprints, mid-distance, stroke, and individual medley (which is basically every stroke basically). Finally, she goes home, showers, eats, and works on homework before getting to bed around 11.

Joseph Fitzgerald, sophomore - Normally, after school, Joseph goes to soccer practice from 4-5:30. He’ll go home for 30 minutes to eat, change clothes, and begin homework before he leaves at 6:30 to head to his 7-9pm club soccer practice. After, 3 ½ total of soccer practice, he’ll finally come home to shower and finish homework before getting to bed around 11. He told me that on a normal week, he will have 11 ½ hours of practice plus a game or two each weekend.

Lucas Walsh, senior - In the summer, Lucas wakes up around 8:30am to eat breakfast and then leaves to get to the golf course around 10am. He’ll start with working on his short game for before going to the green around 12pm to work on some putting drills inside 10 feet. From 1-1:45pm, he’ll eat lunch in the clubhouse before going out on the course again to hit balls on the driving range for 30-45 minutes. Next, he’ll typically play 18 holes, which takes him to 6pm. He’ll either go home now or continue working on ways to improve his game for another half hour.

Gable Delp, junior - On Wednesdays, Gable starts her day with a 6:15-7:30am cheer practice. After school, she’ll go to another practice from 3:45-5:30pm, and she tries to fit in tumbling at Elevate Gymnastics a few times a week when she’s not injured. Sometimes, while doing homework, she’ll put on ankle weights and stretch in order to multitask. However, football season is the busiest because not only is she getting straight A’s, but she’s singing on worship team, gearing up for competition, and working on pep rallies. Every Thursday during the fall, the cheerleaders decorate the high school with posters and streamers before game day which can take until 8:45pm. Now, in the spring, team and officer tryouts begin as well as the spring musical where she’s a lead!

Ally Lee, sophomore - She wakes up around 7am to get dressed and drink a smoothie before leaving her house at 7:30. Ally get to school at 7:45 to make sure she can get an easy parking spot, and then she talks in the math hallway with her friends before a morning block of AP European History with Mr. Fuller. She’ll do the day’s Wordle after class before chapel, and then she goes to intern at Tech Stop. She has to check all of the printers’ paper and cartridges on Thursdays, and then she has Honors Chemistry where they learn about ions and chemical equations. During lunch, she’ll talk to her friends and then head to the library to work on History homework. In the afternoons, she has digital art and Honors Algebra 2. Once school is over, she heads over to Gleneagles for golf practice to play a few holes from 4pm until the sun goes down. She finally gets home to do homework, eat dinner, and shower at 6:10. When she has the free time, she’ll draw illustrations for Mr. William’s book, and she’ll work on her sketch for Digital art at 9. Finally, after a long day of being artistic and athletic, Ally finally goes to bed around 12am, just to wake up again the next morning and do everyone once again, with a few differences of cource!
