I am not a lazy person. I enjoy setting challenging goals and taking on too many tasks and responsibilities, and I almost always get my projects done on time. But I have a not-so-secret secret: I L.O.V.E. to sleep in. That extra 7 minutes of sleep I get after hitting the snooze button is like heroin to me. I have tried placing my alarm clock on the other side of the room - I just get back in bed. I have tried multiple alarms - I just hit them each and go back to sleep. I have tried setting the clock fast - I just do the math. I hate to get out of bed in the morning.
This habit is starting to cost me big money. I have started sleeping past train time in the morning, which is causing me to pay for gas and parking at school. Even on days when I would have to drive anyway, I sleep in too late to park in the city and ride the train a couple of stops to campus. It is really starting to tick me off.
So, "in public" I am committing to ride the train every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and to park on a surface street every Monday and Tuesday. If you know me (and if you are reading this then you probably do, because this is not the world's most popular blog) then I need you to exert peer pressure. Text me or call me or ask me a question on facebook randomly to make sure I am availing myself of the free public transportation options I have. And if I am wasting my money at the campus parking lot - mock me. Mercilessly. Because I deserve it.

If you're less than 10 minutes early you're late.
Oh yes, that can be arranged.
Never less than 10 minutes early for class.... it's the extra 15 minutes I need for the train that kills me.
What time do you want your wake-up call?
haha...mom is waking you up.
Although on a side note, I am happy you have been driving, because you have been able to come save me from the swamps of sadness. So Thanks
Sleep is God's gift to us - and you know what they say, don't mess with God's gifts, so sleep in. And the panic attack you have rushing late to work gets you revved up for teaching - I've been living off it for years!
You may have sleep apnea. Getting it treated makes a world of difference.
