During your MCAT prep, what's the first thing you do when you wake up?

(After using the washroom)

Read the Economist?
Go for a run?
Study Physics?
Eat breakfast? / Lunch?
Use 5h of your day "studying" on SDN?

My days for the last 5 weeks have started as follows:

Wake up, proceed to hit snooze 2-3x
Finally get up, use washroom
Drink protein shake
Pack gym bag, backpack, cooler
Go to library
 
Brush my teeth/bathrooom stuff.
Sit in my chair and ponder my day for at least 5 minutes (gives me an introspective view of what I need to get done).
Stare at the poster on my wall which says "There's no next time. It's now or never." (to get myself in the right state of mind)
Leave for the lab to do research and study for the MCATs.
 
1.) Jump out the bed.
2.) Turn my swag on
3.) Take a look in the mirror
4.) Say "what's up?"

I've been doing that all my life usually works pretty well. Sometimes, I have trouble turning my swag off though.

.I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself, in a balanced diet, in a rigorous exercise routine. .
.In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an icepack while doing my stomach crunches. .
.I can do a thousand now. .
.After I remove the icepack, I use a deeppore cleanser lotion. .
.In the shower, I use a water-activated gel cleanser. .
.Then a honey-almond bodyscrub. .
.And on the face, an exfoliating gelscrub. .
.Then I apply an herb mint facialmasque, .
.which l leave on fourteen minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. .
.I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, .
.because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. .
.Then moisturizer, .
.then an anti-aging eye balm, .
.followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion. .

HAHAHA sounds sensible...until you turn into an American Psycho ;)
 
I go number 2 within the first 30 minutes of every day. Couldn't recommend it enough.
