When I was 18 and in college, my beginning typing class started at 7:05 am.
I remember Freshman Biology lectures at FSU (with 1500 students) starting at 8:00.
That was the year I learned what classes to save for summer sessions.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I voluntarily took a 7am class my senior year of HS, but it was Microbiology and I luuuuuuuuuuurved it. (The reason it was so early is because it was a mixed class with students from a few different schools, so they held it early in the morning to let everyone get back to their regular school more or less on time.)

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Vortex, I'm so sorry

Trust my rage
it feels weird not to be going back to school today. This was always the first day in MN.

Gronk. I finally slept well two nights in a row, so why am I more tired than when I wasn't sleeping at all?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
So I got to school this morning and was told as I went to sign in: "No school! State of emergency!" As it had only been declared half an hour earlier, none of the teachers had been forewarned, and only some of the kids had been contacted in time - those that arrived had to be returned home asap. After our staff meeting, I spent the day pottering around doing much-needed admin things in my classroom. It was...odd. Sort of limbo-ish.
This is a slightly less fun holiday than Tree Day (when a falling tree cut off our electricity at school, and neccesitated a day off), but so far all seems to be fairly calm in Bangkok. Don't know whether we'll be going in tomorrow - probably, although I know several other schools are taking at least 2 days off to be on the safe side. We shall see how things unfold.

Vortex, I'm so sorry for your loss. Let me know if you need to be taken out for a meal, drinks, or just someone to cry on.

Fay, I'm glad things are calm (relatively) in Bangkok. Stay safe.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Stay safe, Fay.
All good thoughts to you and your family, Vortex.
