what a difference a few hours can make

my schedule is a little screwy
my classes (monday and friday) are from 1-7pm
which is a pretty cushy schedule to be fair

but that means i have to fabricate structure
i work mostly on design studio tuesday-thursday
and mostly problem solving on saturday and sunday
as a result it never really feels like i have any down time
oh i do manage to squeeze it in, believe you me
but it's not like at 5 o'clock i can be done
it just doesn't seem to work like that
i feel a subtle nagging guilt
every second i am not sitting in front of my computer

i usually get up around 8:30-9
and i am usually in bed by midnight-midnight thirty

on days that i feel like i have much to do i try to get up early
(7, which ends up to be more like 7:30 with the snooze button)
which works better for me than staying up late (usually)
when i do get up early i am always amazed at how much gets done
it will be 8:55 and i will have gotten a lot of work done
and i am amazed at how early it still is
especially in light of the fact
that there are days when i might still be in bed at that hour
it's a life of luxury here, i know
i get coffee brought to me in bed
i'm a spoiled brat
the post-school world is going to be a harsh dose of reality

but the days are getting longer
the promise of spring....
time to start making a habit of getting up a little earlier
and to enjoy the productive morning hours of the lengthening days
