I'm usually up around 10, if for no other reason than that my
circadian rhythm gets all thrown off-kilter if I get up any
later.  9 is actually a good hour; I don't like much that's
earlier.

 Well, some would say I knew the job was dangerous when I took
it, Fred.

This is why I *like* my half-hour commute and first-period
planning.  While there might be advantages to living close
(sleeping an extra 15 minutes comes to mind), I generally do my
final wake-up en route. I'm awake enough by the time I leave the
house to be safe driving, but by the time I'm at school, I'm
actually able to talk coherently.

'Course, by contract, I have to be on-campus by 7; school starts
at 7:30. Bleah.
