This section deconstructs the styles of today. The tripartite nature of the section demonstrates the intersection of image-word-mathematics.

7:00 a.m.: Drags self to gym for quick shock of the abs and biceps, leaving blonde frosh sleeping soundly — she didn’t get in his bed because she liked his “soft” body.

10 a.m.: Showers and dresses. Decides to wear sweatsuit to class, gives him the option of hitting up the gym during his afternoon break.

10:30 a.m.: Protein bar

11 a.m.: First class. Who knew being a phys-ed major would attract so many hot chicks.

1 p.m.: Lunch- 6 scrambled eggs with beans, salad, and turkey sandwhich-protein shake with Kryotine on the side. Protein, protein, protein.

2 p.m.: Shocks the tri-ceps.

2:30 p.m.: Protein bar

4:00 p.m.: Calculus…where does this come into phys-ed?

6-9 p.m.: Goes to gym. Sees friends Mikey and Nick, and the three spot each other for next couple of hours, shit time flies when you’re getting big.

9:45 p.m.: Starts pre-gaming with the boys down at friend’s place in Redstone Apartments. They’re so clutch, you’ve got your own space right next to hot on-campus chicks and the gym.

10 p.m.: Gets caught in deep conversation with cute red head, Tricia. Takes time to explain to her that he’s not an excessive drinker, it’s just that when you’re as big as he is you need to drink more than most “average” sized guys.

11 p.m.: Tricia’s hooked, no use in prolonging the inevitable.
