the snooze button

every monday, wednesday, and friday, i need to be at work at 9am. at the beginning of the semester (read: first 3 weeks), i would set my alarm for 6:45, snooze til 7:15 or so, then get ready and leave by 8:00am so that i could catch the 8:17 bus to be at work by 8:40 or so.
after awhile, i started taking the train, which i need to pay for, but got me there a lot quicker so i started setting my alarm for 7:10, thinking i'd snooze til 7:30, then get up and leave by 8:20 to be at work a little before 9:00. this lasted another 2-3 weeks.
one day, the research assistant that i work with told me that it was okay if i didn't get there at exactly 9:00 everyday, because (let's face it) no one else did. with that mentality, the times i started waking up got progressively later and later.
this morning, i set my alarm for 7:40, thinking i would snooze til 8:00 and then get up. i didn't get up til 8:15, rushed to get out the door by 8:45, and go to work at 9:15.

the point of all this is:
1. i snooze WAY too much...who else do you know presses the snooze button AT LEAST 4 times before they get up (btw...my snooze is 9 minutes)
2. i realize that i'm not a fan of being on time to things anymore. i used to be one of those people who hated being late, and hated when others were late. i've come to realize that everyone else is always late, making me being on time seem extra early - therefore, i'm late, just like everyone else now.

anyway, in less than a week i'll be on the beaches of south carolina. i'm so excited to get out of the nastiness that is the northeast and go somewhere warm. no responsibilities, no obligations, just relaxation and fun. before that, i have a big midterm to deal with...great -_-



til next time,
take care all!
love,
