i had an internship this summer that started at 10 am. so, every morning i would have time to wake up, roll around in bed for a while and slowly make a bowl of oatmeal. now that my internship is over, i'm working more early shifts at the front desk of a gym, and i have to be there by 8 am. i barely have time to get dressed before driving into town, let alone make a fancy bowl of oatmeal with blueberries and figs and almond butter. in retrospect, i'm baffled that i managed to wake up at 6:30 for school every day in high school. my first period started at 7:25, which seems absurd to me now.
