try it if u don't believe me 🙁

Mine tends to run in spurts. I was late two days in a row in April due to oversleeping. I probably won't be late again for a year.

Luxury! We used to have to get out of the lake at three o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of hot gravel, work twenty hours a day at mill, for twopence a month, come home, and dad would beat us around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were lucky!

that's nothing. we used to get up at 2:45 in the morning, plow the 10 ft high snow just to be able to open the front door, and walk to school barefoot 20 miles in the snow going uphill, BOTH DIRECTIONS.

You're both lucky - I have to get up two days a week at 4:45 a.m.

Ditto cept 4 days a week. I work from 7am - 5:30pm. But at least I only have to work 4 days a week so every weekend is a 3 day weekend 🙂 And on holidays, I get a 4 day weekend!

BTW reason I wake up ~ 4:30ish is because my commute is at least 1 hour each way.
 
at least you guys who get up early probably end early too. For 4 years i woke up at 6, went to school, got home at 3, did homework for 2 hours, went to work from 5-9, had dinner at ~9:30, did homework, went to bed at 11, woke up at 6 and did it all over again. I'm SO glad it's summer!

I'll wake your ass up when I get up at 5am to let my dogs out. 😀

So the age old question has been answered: apparently Fausto1 let the dogs out.

I leave the house at 5:15, it takes me 15-20 minutes to walk to the bus stop.

I get to work at 6:05-6:10.

Not driving sucks.

Why don't you drive?
 
Bah, stupid abstract time. Time is relative. Go work a night shift for a year and it won't matter what time it is.
You're still getting up, going to work and doing the same old same old.

Nah, I don't drive because I'm too blind.

I did total my last car on two elk, though, which is probably what you're referring to.

Whenever I can reliably correct my vision again, I'll drive again. (maybe soon, my new contacts seem to be working well)

You should set your Time 15 minutes ahead on your alarm clock. I do that and when I wake up I forget that its 15 minutes ahead and even if i wake up late i have 15 minutes extra time.

5 days a week, 4:25 AM.

Wow, you get up earlier than I do...I didn't think anyone did that. Up at 5:00AM M-F..usually by 9:00AM weekends.

I am impressed. 😎

Why so much homework?

well this semester it was because i had a full timetable, 4 courses, which also meant 4 summative(semester long) projects, and our school is known for having teachers that load on the homework. The example i gave would have been a heavy night, as i didn't work every night(usually 3-4 nights a week, and then full days on the weekend)
 
it'd be interesting to try a schedule like viper gts's. when i have to, i can do that 2 days in a row, but by the 3rd day i'm dead. quite honestly, i don't think a job exists for me that is good enough to warrant waking up before dawn.
