I work at a place where I have to open by 5 a.m. In order to do the proper things to open I have to get there no later than 4:45 a.m. It also takes me twenty minutes to drive to work. After work I go to school, so I have to make sure I get up in enough time so I can get all of my things ready for school! It sounds crazy, but I actually enjoy it.

I like workings mornings for several reasons and I am going to share them with you. Some of you can relate and others would much rather be in bed. I don't blame you either because at first I thought it was awful waking up that early.

One of the reasons I love workings mornings is because at my work it is a little slow around 5 a.m., which gives me time to do some homework or catch up on some other things that I need to do. I am able to do a decent amount of homework while I am waiting for customers to arrive. I have previously read a chapter of a textbook and wrote out answers that were needed after reading the chapter. It might not seem like a lot but it is when a textbook chapter is twenty to thirty pages. If I wasn't workings mornings then I wouldn't be up. I would be sleeping in, but because I am up it helps me achieve doing my homework when if I didn't work I would be sleeping. So I get my homework done from working mornings.

Another reason is because I love Forensic Files! Forensic Files happens to come on when I am getting the store ready to open. I usually listen to what is going on in the show. It makes the job nice because I am able to watch one of my favorite crime TV shows. I am able to watch two episodes. One episode starts at 5:00 and the next at 5:30. I do have customers during this time, but not too many. I also am able to watch it and do some homework in between commercial breaks which makes it nice!

Thirdly, is because I get off at nine and go to school. My classes are usually over by eleven. My day is finished. I can go home and not have to worry about going to work! I have already put in my work, finished some homework, and finished with classes for the day.

Lastly, is the naps. The naps are phenomenal. Right after class I come home and nap. For some reason working mornings makes naps ten times better! Yeah, you might think I have to go to bed early because I have to get up early in the morning, but that's not the case. After a good, long nap I am able to stay up for a decent amount of time. I usually go to bed around ten or eleven. I guess in a sense it is early, but I used to always go to bed around this time before I started working mornings.

I thought I would share this with you because many people hate working mornings, or hate other things in life. You can always find the positive in things though. I have. I used to dread getting up to work early, but now I love it because I took the time to realize the good things about working early!
