Hello again,
This morning I am frazzled. I was up till 2:30 sorting out my life. I have an 8:30 class which does not sound that early, but when you’re up till 2:30, waking up at 7:30 is a lot harder than you would think. On top of that, I hadn’t finished all my homework last night, so I set my alarm for 6, so I would have enough time to finish my assignments, take a shower, and have a quiet time.
At six O’clock my alarm went off. At 7:41 I actually woke up. Crap. There went my morning. I leapt from bed…well sort of. Leaping from bed would spell disaster since it is lofted at least a good seven feet in the air, so I clambered down from my bed. I threw open my laptop and finished my assignments. With no time for a shower, I threw my hair back into a ponytail with a bandanna.
I was clothed and had finished my assignments, but I sacrificed brushing my teeth and brewing coffee…horror of horrors. Grabbing English poems, scattered thoughts, and scraps of sanity, I flew to saga where I grabbed toast, a banana, and coffee. Shudder. (I stooped to drinking saga coffee with creamer, a double insult to my morning.)
I most always drink it black, but I had to mask the flavor. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I needed my caffeine fix, even if it came in the form of burnt coffee masked with non-dairy creamer. Ugh. On my way to class I tripped twice, almost losing my toast the first time and almost losing my coffee the next. Once in my seat, I spilt coffee all over me. By this point it was just funny. If I take anything away from this morning it’s this, maybe I shouldn’t sign up for 8:30 classes.

Burnt coffee masked by non-dairy creamer got me through seminary. I was too poor for the big "S", and too lazy to make my own every morning.
It is not only possible, but incredibly waking to leap from a lofted bed. I did it every morning in college, much to my roommates chagrin. Well, it might not actually be waking; I kept my alarm clock several feet away from my bed, so that I would have to get out of bed to turn it off. Most mornings I still hit the snooze a minimum of 4 times, creating a cycle of,
"MEEP! MEEP! MEEP! MEEP!"
"Ugh"
"THUD"
"click"
"pat, pat, pat pat"
"rustle"
"Ahhh"
Morning!
Hooray for Meredith! Sometimes we are the most amusing part of our day. It reminds us that our confidence is not in ourselves but our Lord.
I tried to stop taking 8:30 classes when I was in college, but biology my 4th year intervened. I only went to class about half the time. Still did alright, for not going to class, barely reading the text book, and it being honors bio at U of C.
