One year in college I had a class at 8:30 ... they put us in a warm room, turned out the lights, and showed slides. Even coffee couldn't always keep me awake.
And, in other news, for PMS sufferers.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was okay with making TKD classes at the start of the day. Less so with classes for credit. It wasn't so much a morning thing--I can scatter my sleep pretty easily. However, for some reason I insisted on an elective that was at the same time as tae kwon do. Yeah, didn't quite work out.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I was once the TA for an 8:00 class. I developed a few strategies, like having breakfast after class. And office hours around 11:00.
Though it was really interesting the day I showed, and the professor didn't.

I was one of those freaks who took 8 am classes in college by choice. Well, part of it was strategy. I figured I got a boost in my grade just for showing up and being coherent, which I wouldn't have gotten taking the same class at 2 pm. It helped that I had no social life to speak of.
Then I started doing tech theater and striking sets 'til 2 am. And hanging with the other techies afterward. Until dawn. No more 8 am classes for Calli.
I'm still a morning person, in the sense that no matter how late I stay up, I'll probably be unable to sleep past 6:30 or so. Oh well. It's a nice, quiet world at that time of day.
Roslindale sounds really nifty, vw.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I am way too gronkified to be happy listening to little birds chirping.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Last night, the fog rolled in with a vengenance here, and even the bird that made Juliana say "WTF was that" at brunch is oddly muffled. It's nice, but my sinuses weren't ready for it, and ow.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

This is me. The F2F proved that point a little to vividly for me.
Lee, the fog is over here too. My morning drive along the beach did not give me my usual view of the city. Shoot, I couldn't even tell where the beach ended and the bay began.
Today is already fucked. We have a tight turn around at work - my report has to be done by next Thursday, 3 days earlier than usual - and Corporate has messed up one of my programs. They are "fixing" it, but don't have an ETA. GAHHHHHHHHHHH.

Huh. This is apparently an incredibly freak-ass weather day -- I'm looking out the window of the nerd hole in our 24/7/365 fog belt apartment. The back porch is bathed in morning sunlight, the jays in a nearby tree are jabbering, and the sky is Wedgewood blue. This never happens in our neighborhood. Also, if I face west and listen closely, I can hear the foghorns bellowing on the Bay.
eta: Blarg, Suzi. That's wrong and unfair. I don't think your work life has been any better than headdesk for even two consecutive days since I've known you.
