Rise and Shine!

I'm a clock-watcher. I'm the girl in class checking my watch every five minutes to see if the 50 minutes of lecture are over yet. I even watch the clock in my sleep, waking up periodically to see what time it is and how much longer I have in bed. Worse, I set my alarm clock in 15-minute intervals because I'm prone to oversleeping. If I have no alarm set, I wake up frantically saying, "What time is it?"

True Story.

It's strange to me that sometimes even after 10 hours of sleep, I am still tired. I drag myself out of bed as if I could use two more hours. Coffee is a really good friend of mine.
