Remember last year, when I decided that getting up really early was the only way to get things done? That all fell by the wayside after my surgery, and I never really resumed it. I thought about it as this semester started, but since the LSAT prep course keeps me in class until 10 p.m. several nights each week it seemed best to put it off until October. I’ve been setting the alarm for 7 instead.

So what happens? Every morning since school started, I’ve woken up at 5. Without fail. And then proceeded to be in denial until the alarm went off. Today I gave in and got up, because I figure I might as well get something done.
