How I'm early for everything.

My netbook.  Be jealous of the slime.

So I wake up at around 7:30am on most weekdays.  Why does this bug me?  Well my first class isn't until 9:10 (9:35 on Tuesdays and Thursdays).  I guess I just underestimate how efficient I am in the morning.  By 8:00 I have gotten up, changed my clothes, brushed my teeth, packed my backpack, checked Facebook, Twitter, and Google News, looked at the weather for the day, checked my Email, and eaten a Pop-Tart.  I leave my room and start walking to class and it's always a ghost town.  Then I sit in the hallway outside my classroom for almost an hour.  "Well Thomas, why don't you wake up later?".  I've tried.  My alarm clock is set to 8 am every day.  I wake up before it.  At least I have my netbook to keep me entertained for an hour+.

Phone Alarm Clocks with the default of "weekdays only".

The Culprit: The enV3.

One time, my friend Ryan and I were sharing a hotel room at the Hyatt Regency Kansas City for the JEA Fall Convention.  We needed to be at breakfast by 7 so that we could be at the convention by 8. Simple right?  So we set Ryan's brother's phone (his had died that week) to go off at 6:30am.  We specifically checked that it was AM and not PM.  Next morning, we both wake up to the sound of someone pounding at our door.  When we answered the door, it was Mr. Dent, wondering why neither of us were answering our phones or at breakfast.  What time was it? 8:01am.  Upon further examination, the phone's alarm default was for weekdays only, and today was a Saturday.  Moral of the story: Whenever you set an alarm, triple-check every setting so you don't look like a fool.
