Yeah, I've never been good at mornings. School was a special kind of hell for me because of it. I've read off and on since I graduated high school about them considering starting school later in the day because kids aren't built to function properly that early in the morning, but I haven't seen anyone go through with it yet.

Well...I suppose it could've been worse...

I prefer getting up after 7am but before 9. Any earlier than 7 and I'm grumpy

I'm up around 5:15am and out the door by 6. I'm home by 3:40, when I immediately sit on the couch and get on the computer until the girls get home at 4:15. That is my only alone time during the day, so I make sure to do exactly what I want to do in that half hour. After they get home, it's cook, clean, help with homework, showers, and bed. Boring stuff.

But the beauty is that there's no alarm clock!!!! I wake up, when I'm good and ready! If I want to lie there for two hours, I can!

Even if I CAN get to sleep early enough, I just feel grumpy in the AM, and swear my allergies drive me crazy, early in the morning. Swear to god, if I get up at noon, they don't bother me!

I've read all about this as well, but I've read more on the part that elementary aged children can actually function better in mornings, while high schoolers function better later on. I've always thought school start times were a bit backward in that elemenetary started after the high school. It really should be the other way around. I see the point in starting high school earlier though, because it gets them ready for the real world and having to get up and be somewhere first thing. (well, for most jobs...) But for my daughter, she would function better if she could stay awake long enough to pass her algebra class... haha!

^^^^^

Yeah, little kids are awesome at getting up really early. My son will be 10 soon, and I've noticed over the years, though, that he's less and less spry in the AM. He used to bounce out of bed at 6 AM like nobody's business.

I've always thought it was backwards, too, but I think they have the high school kids go earlier so they can get out earlier to maybe watch little brothers and sisters after school or go to a job or something? I know that around here, the high school bus drops off the older kids and that gives them about 20 minutes or more before the little kids' bus comes and drops them off.

It's probably also to do with getting ready for the real world, too, though.

All through high school, I got stuck with physics or bio or chem or statistics first thing in the morning. It was HORRIBLE. I was always dazed.

Let's see. Wake up at 5:30, leave my house by 6:30 (yes, it takes a full hour for me to get dressed/do my hair and makeup/make myself an egg white omelette), Starbucks run at 6:35, at school by 7. My first class rarely starts earlier than 9:20, though, because I have a free period. So during that time, I get any extra homework finished, work on our literary magazine and grade THOUSANDS of tests/writing assignments, etc. for the English teacher that I TA for.

I go to my three 85-minute classes and get out at 2:30. I'm still at school until 4, though, because I usually have extra curricular-related stuff to get done. Planning our monthly open mic poetry/music nights, putting up flyers, socializing with teachers, getting homework done, working on the magazine....

I get home by 5:30 or so, do homework for an hour, and then usually go grab a casual dinner (CHIPOTLE!) with a friend. My mom used to cook a lot but now, our schedules are so conflicting that it isn't possible most of the time. Then I do homework while procrastinating on the Ledge/Facebook for a while, and I usually go to bed somewhere between 1AM and 3AM.

Early bird, here.

I am up at 6:30 and out of the house by 8:00. Of course it doesn't take me that long to get ready, but I do not like to be rushed in the morning. I like to hang out with Laney, have some coffee, and be leisurely. That way I don't feel as though I'm working.

I don't start seeing clients until 9, so I'm usually answering emails, or catching up on paperwork until then. Then I see clients. All day. Borderline, depression, anxiety, PTSD. Two hours of each day is devoted to doing clinical assessments for the local Mental Health- they send us walk in referrals.

After work (around 5-6ish), I pick up Laney and we come home, fix something to eat and play! Jeff usually gives L her bath and then we hang out together and watch TV. I am in bed by 9:00pm. I read for an hour or two, almost always asleep by 11pm.

On Tuesdays I don't go in until noon- I have a group on Tuesday nights and I see clients late.

This sure is fascinating, isn't it?

It is to me, but I'm probably broken in the head or something. I'm always curious about what other people are doing. Like, when I walk down the street or whatever, and look at houses or see people in cars, I wonder, "What are they doing? Why are they doing it? Do they wish they were doing something else?"

Not in a creepy stalker way, though. I'm just curious about people.

Your routine sounds like mine... my alarm goes off at 4:50 am so i can choose if i feel like getting up then or waiting till 5:15 when my alarm goes off again..im in the shower and out by 5:30..dressed by 5:40, my hair usually doesn't take that long if i didnt wash it or something the night before and if not i can just unwrap it and part it then im done..i dont really wear alot of makeup just eyeliner and mascara...then i have to find my books and stuff for school because my classes change everyday.
my first period is spanish and my teacher is a real dick so that means we spend the whole hr of his class working and listening to him talk about how he is always right. he also likes to talk about the girlfriends he has and his wife in puerto rico (this guy like spray paints his side burns =\ )..im usually at school til 5:30 or 6 because i have/had track practice (i had to quit because im just too busy this year) and i have a science fair project to work on and make up work. i've been staying at school recently because my mother lost her job and i really dont want to be home all day with her plus she enjoys the time alone. during tennis season i will be at school even longer especially on game day (i usually have really good games that last awhile). when i get home i start with the easy homework and then im talking to friends on facebook or texting one of them for a while. I go to bed at 11 or 12 except for on the days i have an APUSH assignment that i procrastinated on, then im up til around 2-2:30. the only time i sleep in is on the weekends unless i have community service programs which i have a lot of this year because i am a CENS student. my mother spends the weekends, sometimes, over her boyfriend's house in maryland so i get to spend the weekend by myself... if i wasn't a trustworthy child you could imagine the parties i could have since i have a lot of friends who would come

I think that's that block scheduling. My sister's high school was like that.

Mine was as well, but it was four 80 minutes classes. The days were named A-F, you had four of the same class on A, C and E days in a different order, than the other four classes on B, D and F days. It was kind of helpful, that way you didn't always have the same class at the beginning of the day.

My routine is pretty boring. I'm extremely low maintenance in the mornings. I get up around 8:45 and I leave the house by 9:10. Usually at work by 9:45 and work until 6. On nights that I don't meet up with friends for dinner, I come home and relax. In the spring and the fall, I see a lot of theater so on those nights, I don't get home until after 11. Then repeat!

Yeah, I had normal high school. 8 periods a day. I can't remember for sure, because I just realized I graduated 10 years ago, but I think they were 45 minutes each. Except lunch, which we only got like 25 minutes for. Jerks.

What sort of theater do you see?
