7:00 AM- I like to wake up early so I can have a relaxing morning before work. For breakfast, I make scrambled eggs, toast a piece of my favorite Avalon bread, and cut up some strawberries and a peach I bought from Eastern Market last Saturday. While eating breakfast, I read the New York Times. I then make my bed, get dressed, and clean up the apartment for a bit since I have some extra time this morning.
8:30 AM- I leave my apartment and head to a MoGo station. Biking is a great way to commute to work because it incorporates exercise, it’s fun, and I get to see Detroit from a new perspective. When I’m on the QLINE, it’s so easy to look down at my phone for the entire time and ignore the city as it passes by. Yet when I’m on my bike, I see interesting architecture, shops, restaurants, as well as other cyclists. Something exciting that I observed over these eight weeks on my bike commute was the final phase of construction and opening of an Italian deli on Cass Avenue.
8:55 AM- I arrive at One Campus Martius after docking my bike at a station. I then stop at the bathroom to wipe the sweat off my face and brush out my hair that got a little messed up from my helmet. These are some of the downsides to bike commuting, but they’re minor and fixable, so I definitely don’t mind.
9 AM- I pull out my laptop to check my email and calendar. Today, Dennis and I are doing a presentation on Adaptive MoGo at a senior living community and meeting with Detroit Experience Factory to continue planning our tour. This morning, I get to work on revising an intercept survey.
11:30 AM- Dennis and I leave for the senior living community. We decided to walk because the wait for the QLINE was 22 minutes. Once we arrive, we set up a pocket mini projector to try out for the presentation. It ended up working quite nicely and it was great to have photos of the adaptive cycles to show to the residents.

12:30 PM- Once our presentation is over, we QLINE back to the office and eat lunch. Today, I have chicken with tzatziki sauce and hummus as well as a cucumber and tomato salad. Since I prep my meals for the week on Sunday, I don’t have to worry about buying lunch every day.
1 PM- I get back to work on planning the DXF-MoGo tour. Dennis and I discuss possible routes and decide that the Dequindre Cut is ideal because there’s no vehicle traffic on it.
4 PM- I MoGo over to TechTown to meet with Detroit Experience Factory. Our meeting was very productive—We finalized a date, tour route, and a marketing plan for the tour. We are so excited to see one of our projects come to fruition.

5:15 PM- I head back to the apartment and eat an apple with almond butter. I change into workout clothes and walk over to the gym.
7:30 PM- I heat up my dinner that I had meal prepped on Sunday—a sweet potato, black bean, and rice bowl with avocado and cilantro.

8 PM- I shower and get ready for bed.
8:30 PM- My sister calls me and we talk for an hour and a half about her irrational decision to adopt a cat. Since she lives in Arizona and I only see her a few times a year, we talk on the phone practically every day.
10 PM- I go to sleep.
