My sister has school at 7:10. SEVEN. TEN. When I went to that high school, we started at 7:45, and Wednesdays were late days, 8:20 or something like that. Now, her late day is 7:45 - when I normally went to school.

It's ridiculous. Not even my earliest college class starts before 8 AM (don't have any this semester, thank God).

We used to have those late start days, too, but we'd usually still get up early so that we could get extra high before class, as opposed to regular high like a normal day.

Had a conversation about our morning ritual in high school with some friends a few weeks back. I forgot that they dropped out.

I begin working most days at 8 AM. There aren't a lot of people, businesses etc. that expect to do business with you prior to 8 AM. 715 in the morning is ridiculous for a kid, yet alone an adult.
