<p>That other thread that I just saw that's about what you wear and how long it takes you to get ready inspired me to post this.</p>
<p>My school starts at 7:48 (such a random number), which I hate because I know many other schools that start at like 8:30.</p>
<p>I'm sure I don't need to post my "Epic: waking up" thread again, but I'll requote myself from that thread:
</p>
<p>Yeah. I can't wake up, I set my alarm at 7 and I get up never earlier than 7:30. Never. Even then, I have trouble...so I wash my face, brush my teeth, get ready in 5 minutes and leave in the car (thank god my school's closeby). I eat something quick in the car, usually, my mom's already used to making food early to have it ready. </p>
<p>First Period I sleep. By 2nd, I'm half-awake. Naturally, I'm late quite a bit - I was late like every other day last year for a good 2 months until the teacher got disgusted and sick of giving me like 20 lunch detentions and just said, "Next one, young man, will be a personal call home and a dropping of your grade!" Not that it was a big deal, but still, I got in at exactly 7:48 every time from then.</p>
<p>This year, I'm on a good streak - 2 months into school and only 12 tardies and 6 lunch detentions. I'm sleeping less these days (8 hours weekdays, 14 weekends) so it's double the effort to wake up. </p>
<p>Your turn. I KNOW some of you have to be late to school daily and it's not just me.</p>
<p>HAHAHAH my school starts at 6-40
it's cause i'm taking 0 period ap chem (it's 0and 1 period). i'm often late, but surprisingly, i was late more aften last year, when school started at 7-40</p>
<p>My school starts the same time as yours, which is really weird considering my middle school started later. I wake up usually at 6, I do the same as you with the cellphone, cause I put mine under my pillow, but I have three alarms on mine, so that if I turn it off, I have to do it three times. I'm usually at school 20 mins. early</p>
<p>My school starts at 8:00, although last year I took a zero hour (prolly what AnastasiaZ is doing) and it began at 6:45 then. I rise around 5:00-5:30ish, earlier if I have anything to do (I've woken up at 4 a number of times to read whatever books [as in full length books, we get 2 of them a week lol] are due for the next day). I don't use an alarm clock, I just wake up then naturally; usually it's earlier in the summers, as I've been oversleeping [ie, rising at 15 till six] more and more these days, so I guess it's just my natural response to changes in light ambience.</p>
<p>At which point I realize that the temperatures have dropped to the fifties while I've slept and quickly skip over to the shower to warm up.</p>
<p>I'm never late though to school; I get there a solid half hour before anything starts on a bad day, an hour or so on a good one.</p>
<p>My school starts at 7:25. :( Bus comes at 6:50 UGHHH. (And I only live fifteen minutes away from school, so we get there at 7:05... I dunno why it comes so early.)</p>
<p>So yeah. I usually wake up at like 6:25 or 6:30 and have to shower and get dressed and get outside by 6:50. D:</p>
<p>I don't have my license yet (lul), so when I miss my bus, my mom has to drive me in. >__< She whines about it the whole time. I haven't yet been late for school, though, in my 3.25 years. (:</p>
<p>My school starts at 8:45. I usually wake up at 7:45 and then bike to school, arriving at around 8:30-8:40. So no, I'm usually never late to school, unless there's a lot of snow and I have to wait for my mom to get ready and drive me to school.</p>
<p>I've never seen so many people get up before 7am. To the 4 people or so that have replied now, um, that's literally more people I know that get up before 7 than EVERYONE I know IRL. Scary.</p>

my sleep to school ratio is like 1:4, which sucks D:
[/quote]
lol well mine used to be sleep 10 hrs on weekdays, 14 on weekends. Now it's 8 weekdays 14 weekends, because I'm watching more TV instead of that 2 hrs of sleeping.</p>
<p>Um, well I get home at 7ish from polo practices or games (mondays, wednesdays, and thursdays I have meetings for random councils after this and get home at abou 8:30), then eat dinner, then chill on facebook/cc for awhile, then do my homework (my aps and honors classes give insane amounts of hw, especially ap bio), then send out emails for my clubs and councils and stuff, then do all of my non-school related work, and finally sleep....yay
um, the amount of sleep i get on weekdays ranges from 2-6 hours, although, it's usually on the lower end....</p>
<p>Oh wow. I mean we're getting further and further off topic but your life is crazy. Until some other person comments about how late/early they get to school...</p>
<p>I come home at 3pm, take a nap until 4 or 5, uh, watch TV, play some games, then eat dinner, do some hw quick, then do random stuff on the computer/work out, then sleep by like 10pm at the latest...lol then I wake up around 7:00 (reality, it's 7:30). I'm sleeping at 11 nowadays though, watching more TV. So many great shows.</p>
<p>It sucks having that courseload and all those things to do.</p>
<p>School starts at 7:15, I wake up anywhere from 5:30-6:00, but I'm generally late to class because I often go back to sleep after getting mostly ready for school.. like.. I will subconsciously lay down on the floor and be asleep in like .5 seconds. Anyway though, I'm rarely more than 5 minutes late to 1st period, and I can talk my way out of getting a tardy pass for that class. :]
Hmm I've only had to get one unexcused absence/late pass all year, and that was the other day when I didn't come into school until 3/4ths of the way through 4th period.</p>
<p>My school starts at 7:20 (-_- and to help us "not be late" they have first period BEFORE homeroom. You get a detention if you're late to a class, but most of my teachers are pretty lenient on that rule, thank god) and I get there at about 7:15-7:18, it fluctuates depending on when I get up, but my normal schedule is like this...</p>
<p>11 PM - Go to bed
6:45 AM - "Wake up"
6:50 AM - Actually get up, bathroom, brush teeth, etc.
7:00-7:05 AM - Sometime between then I get dressed, get two waffles out of the toaster, and get in my mom's car. About a 10 minute drive to school, can be more or less depending on traffic</p>
<p>lmao
my school starts at 8:05... i'm late quite a lot, but normally i get there at like 8:08 or 8:11
a few times i've showed up at like 8:15.. haven't gotten a detention yet this year, normally i get 2 per semester (we get 2 automatically for every tardy) xD
it's cuz my first class is orchestra and a student takes attendance..</p>
<p>and i'm sleeping pretty early this year too! like before 1 every night...
i guess i just suck at waking up xP</p>
<p>I have a Stanford Poster on my wall to motivate me to wake up. I usually wake up at 5:00 to finish my homework, but usually it's been hard waking me up since sometimes I can't hear my alarm clock if I go to sleep pass 12. So I try to make an effort to sleep at 11 or 12. I live really close to school. My school starts at 7:45 and I leave my house at 7:35. Im only 1 minute late to school; but I don't think my chemistry teacher notice. Its impossible for me to get a 0 period which starts at 6:45.</p>
