Random Snapshot: What Are You Doing? by

At the time of reading this post, what are you doing (or watching, reading, listening to, daydreaming etc.)?
Right now, I am playing my 120th hour of the Binding of Isaac (which is totally normal behavior, I am assured) and zoning out yesterday's YouTube posts. A shower is also in my near future.
What about all of you? -

I have just woke up. I'm in my sleeping clothes and about to go make some breakfast. Hopefully before my brother wakes up and asks me to make something for him as well.
THEN I WILL BE DRAGON HUNTING. -

I begin the day in pretty much the same way.
I didn't expect this silly question to get as much response as it did. Thank you all very much for for sharing!
Now, I have another question, just for the fun of it.
Imagine yourself a year from now, on this day, at this hour, answering the same question. What would your answer look like? In a year it might be interesting to revisit this question and see how close we all came.
It's early. I'm laying in bed with my laptop. There isn't much reason to be awake yet. That's never stopped me, of course.
A Word document is up on my screen, but my sluggish mind doesn't seem to want to fill it up with anything. The Steam window is looking awfully inviting right about now. -

Well, my answer hasn't changed from yesterday; just woke up, and am munching cheerios. I have to scram for class in twenty minutes.
...come to think of that, I should get dressed.
It was still dark outside, and as such, Iximaz was still asleep. She briefly woke, once, when her roommate slipped out the door, but she wouldn't remember this later.
She yawned and rolled over, snuggling further under the covers. It was good to not have classes on Fridays.
I can dream, okay? :P -

Obviously your juridical system probably is very different from mine, but my own experience with studying Law has been pretty interesting. I am actually studying the Civil and Penal Codes this semester. First semester was mostly just laying the groundwork and theory.
Do you have any idea of what role you want to take once you graduate? I am leaning towards civil attorney myself.

Being a lawyer doesn't suit me; too much intrigue and dishonesty. I'd rather find some area of expertise that isn't widely known but is in demand (like, IDK, international law) and become a consultant.

Alright then. That definitely sounds interesting. by

I hear international law is in great demand, so that probably would be a good field to work.
I am still on my first year, so it is likely my inclinations will shift greatly towards the end of the course. Still have 4 and a half years to go after all.
Probably will depend on finding out just how much corrupt the system really is. Though considering how much I already know about how corrupt my country is in general... -

That is also really nasty. I can definitely see why that is.
It should speak to how bad the situation is here that I seriously expected to find a similar list for Brazilian politicians. Since, surprisingly, there is not one yet, I will just have to go with this instead. -

Since I work a somewhat terrible job from home, this "getting ready" consists of opening all the necessary computer programs, grabbing some snacks/caffeinated drinks, and looking for other work.
I spent my morning watching episodes of "Gotham," which just came out on Netflix. I'm enjoying it more then I thought I would. -

It's a fine balance to achieve :)
Specifically on the 'doing work' front, I am producing a new range of standard drawings for one of my company's products. And cheating massively by basing the new standard on an existing non-standard design that has a lot of the features I want; I've been able to produce some of these 'new' drawings by just renaming old ones, which has significantly cut down on the time it'll take me, which has in turn allowed me to...

This month, Thursday is the only day I don't have a day shift; only a night shift at 5:30. (No, I haven't had a full day off all month. We're understaffed, okay?) I'm going to spend the day keeping a friend company, so I've been getting ready to go since I woke up. I just made dinner for my night shift (cheese melted between two tortillas), and once that cools, I'll pack it in my lunch box. I'm about to shave. Oh, also, I've had my DS in my hand this entire time, biking back and forth in a Pokémon game so I can max out my Kingdra's happiness and teach it Draco Meteor.
