Much like Taijo, their is a distinct routine that Shine goes through every morning when he wakes up. After his six hours of sleep--he never has, or could not remember, ever having an eight hour night of sleep-- he awoke, shockingly alert, and set about doing his stuff. The morning, as always, started with him staring at the bottle of pills. He should be taking them... shouldn't he? But he's also doing so well without them. He just hopes that Kari won't discover he's not on the medication, as it seemed like she would know from that accursed file.<br/><br/>He's not going to stress about this, though. Stress is the enemy, stress is what makes the problems a problem, and he avoids it like the plague. It's how he handles it all.<br/><br/>After a little internal monologue, he went over to check his homework, making sure it was all done and looked right, gathering his books and other things and loading them into his messenger bag, along with a large granola bar. He always had one of those bars on hand, just in  case he gets the munchies.<br/><br/>Then it was off to the showers to get himself thoroughly cleaned up. He awoke about the time Taijo left for his run, and that meant he had the showers all to himself... because, really, who in their right mind would be up and about at six in the morning?<br/><br/>The water was always as hot as it could be, hot enough to hurt him without truly damaging his skin. He enjoyed the burning sensation, oddly.  He practically scours himself clean. Eventually, the shower would end and he would thoroughly dry himself off, and spend a good, solid five minutes messing around with his hair. He always fussed with his brilliant red locks.<br/><br/>After that, it was off to the shared kitchen to do... something. Which, today, is, apparently, stare blankly off into space while he decides what he wants to eat. Then he decides to hell with it, he will get something from a vending machine later.<br/><br/>Back to his room!  He gets all dressed up in his uniform, rechecks his messenger bag to make sure he's got everything he needs--and a few things he doesn't-- then it was down to the lobby to quietly watch the morning news, and wait for everyone else to be up and about.<br/><br/>edit: Five in the morning changed to six in the morning.
