<p>The class i must take this fall has only one section,, and it's morning 8am class..</p>
<p>hate this............................................................................................................................................</p>
<p>I have 8am classes on three out of five days. Suck it up and quit whining. :)</p>
<p>I had 8am class every day Spring 07 no thanks to Bio1A and Chem3B. Wah wah wah, you little crybaby.</p>
<p>I wish the people in the morning math course I need would think the same way as you. Grr.</p>
<p>I've never attended a class that is earlier than 9:30 AM. It pays to befriend nerds who are willing to take notes for you.</p>
<p>Quit complaining! I commute to Berkeley EVERY SINGLE DAY. For an 8 o clock class, I wake up at 5:45, catch the 6:45 BART train, get off at the downtown Berkeley station at 7:45 and walk uphill to Latimer and Stanley. Maybe if you can't handle the pressure, you shouldn't be here!</p>
<p>Way to tell him calfrosh, ahahaha.</p>
<p>I personally like the morning classes because then it leaves my afternoon open for clubs/gym.</p>
<p>At first I hated the notion of an 8am class, but then I thought that in hs I had to take the bus (1 hour) and I had to wake up at 5:30. However, I live in the dorms so I can wake up way earlier like 6:45 or 7am.</p>
<p>calfrosh, you know that you can take the 51 or 7 to go up the hill from downtown berkeley bart. lol gg</p>
<p>realestate: You know the buses are the most unreliable way to get anywhere on time, don't you? ESPECIALLY the 51. I live across the street from the downtown BART station and damned if I'll waste my time waiting for a bus to show up. It's faster to walk.</p>
<p>undecided: yes they are not reliable. yes it might be better to walk up depending on where your class is. </p>
<p>But, do you know where latimer and stanley are? those two building are very very far away. even if you powerwalk (starting from the bus stop next to the bart station), i estimate it will take atleast 20minutes. if you want to get your daily excercise, then walk up all the way to stanley hall so you won't be damned. i'll just review my notes or something and relax and take the bus.</p>
<p>why not run? that;s even better exercise</p>

ew. After waking up at 5:30 for zero period classes for the last four years, I most def don't want classes before 10 or 11. My only one is an 8 am seminar but that's one day a week, and I can crash right after. My dad told me to change my schedule and make all my classes 8 am ones! guy's crazy.</p>
<p>Maybe I walk really fast, but it only takes me 10-15 minutes to get from Center x Shattuck to Stanley. It's not the most fun walk in the world, but. <em>shrug</em> My point about the buses is that it might take 20 minutes to get there and you can't read your notes, but if you wait for the bus and they happen not to be running very reliably? 40+ minutes. Time to catch up on your reading, sure, but it also means you need to leave yourself a ridiculous amount of leeway in order to guarantee you'll be there on time.</p>
<p>I walk everywhere, though, including down to the vivarium (at the bottom of University, ~2 miles one way). Observing the buses run at such an erratic pace that I can make that walk without seeing a SINGLE 51 or 52L the entire way down, and having waited at Center x Shattuck for a 51, 7, 40 (before it became the 1) or any bus headed toward Telegraph for 30 minutes, I'm not a huge fan of the bus.</p>
<p>Your mileage may, and probably does, vary.</p>

<p>More to the point of the thread, despite the fact that I live across the campus, my earliest class since I came to Berkeley has been at 11am, I believe. I do not do mornings, and the one quarter (when I was at UCSC) I took an 8am course was out of necessity, and the only reason I stayed awake is because the professor teaching it was magic. </p>
<p>My earliest class this semester? </p>
<p>1pm.</p>
