You did it again, you crazy human being. And what is funny is that you actually believed that this would be beneficial for you. Do you know yourself? I bet you are regretting this already, aren't you? That's right; you signed up for 8 AM classes. Why? That is a terrific question. What were you thinking? Another great thing to ask. Have you ever in your life been a morning person? Exactly, so what made you think that waking up at 7 AM and hauling yourself into a classroom was a good idea?
We aren't in high school anymore. You don't have to be at school at 8 AM. Seriously, why would you put yourself through this? Remember all of those times you complained in high school? Did you think this would be different? The worst part is that no one even forced you to take this 8 AM. You are the only person to blame in this situation. It's only been one week, but I bet a 10 AM sounds almost thrilling to you right now.
Maybe it hasn't been that bad for you yet, but just wait. We already know that you have never gone to sleep at a reasonable time. You are in for some delirious days that are the aftermath of five hours of sleep. But, being loopy and waking up at 7 AM is not the only rude awakening that you will experience. Did you forget that cold weather is just around the corner? It's not an easy thing to wake up before the sun, and it is definitely not easy to part from your bed with the knowledge that you are about to face the cold. You can't take your bed to class with you, unfortunately.
But hey, there are some positive things about 8 AMs. For one, your day probably ends before most people's days end. That means that you can come home and take a nap while they are heading out for their first class of the day. It also means that you can decide how to spend your day - (if you don't end up napping through all of it.) Don't be hard on yourself if that happens -- napping is very important and you deserve it. Waking up early also means that you get a real life parking spot. Parking usually sucks, but not for you. Obviously, the sane people will not be pulling up into that parking lot at such an unholy hour. You don't have to go around campus for 20 minutes impatiently awaiting someone to leave because you are one of the first people there.
So yes, there are a few upsides to waking up early, (even if the downsides make it hard to appreciate them.) You might as well get used to this new schedule because there is no turning back now. It's too late to change your schedule as of Wednesday. But, look at it this way, at least you will be suffering along with me and the other delusional students that thought this could be good for them. And, who knows! Maybe you will be a morning person by the end of this semester.
By the way, that was a joke.
