It’s 7:00 am on a Monday morning. You stumble out of bed to the sound of your alarm clock blaring, trying to rub the sleep out of your eyes. As you move into the bathroom to start getting ready for the day, you silently curse yourself for ever signing up for a class this early. It is 7:35 when you leave your apartment and start heading over to class. You should be thinking about your homework or what you are going to discuss in class today, but instead you are thinking something very different. Here are eight thoughts we all have while walking to our 8 am classes.
1. I am never signing up for an 8 am ever again
I don’t know what made me think I was strong enough to handle this.
2. Maybe the professor can’t make it and class will be canceled
I should check my email.
3. I’m going to need about 100 cups of coffee to get me through this
Hyperbole? Maybe.
4. Only 1 hour and 45 minutes to go until I can go back to sleep
*Checks clock every five minutes*
5. I shouldn’t have stayed up so late last night
Why do I never learn?
6. What would happen if I just fell asleep in class? Would the teacher notice?
Actually, better not risk it.
7. I can’t believe there are people who have to wake up this early every day
What a sad life that must be.
8. Only three and a half months left to go until this class is over
Sigh.
