Early Riser

I'm an early riser. The latest I've slept in the past year was 10:30 in the morning-and that was because I was heavily induced with sleepytime meds, oh the joys of Nyquil. This past school year, my body has been waking me up at around the same time no matter what time I went to bed the night before. Sometimes I hate it, but for the most part I love it. I personally think that the morning is the best part of the day. Granted, I do get a little lonely in the morning because all of my roomates like to take advantage of the times they can sleep in, which is totally understandable. The reactions to being woken up by an alarm clock differ between all of them...

Jonathan.
He is definitely the most sociable in the morning (besides me). He is the one roomate I can wake up in the morning without him getting upset. He does this thing where he rubs his stomach and his left eye while trying to get reoriented to being awake.

Matt.
Matt doesn't like to talk in the morning. He knows what he needs to do to get ready and he does it. After his morning shower, his daily routine consists of washing out his coffee mug and then going to the dryer and taking his clothes out of it. For some reason, Matt does his laundry everyday becuase I dont think I have seen a morning where he doesn't visit the washing machine. I never understood why, but I have just come to accept it. Matt doesn't dilly dally, yet somehow he is always catching the bus just in the knick of time.

Stephen.
His alarm usually goes off around 8:30. However, Stephen does not wake up until around 10:30. Stephen has an adept skill at mentally muting his alarm. Who needs a snooze button when you can do that? The song replays over and over and a morning just doesn't feel right if I dont hear it. The song is Mason's Revenge by Senses Fail if you want to look it up and get a glimpse of my soundtrack in the morning.

Jesse.
Last, but definitely not least. Jesse Bowden. To say in the least, Jesse doesn't function in the morning. He wakes up, sure. But he mentally does not check in until after his morning shower. He tends to be a little grumpy as well. Here is an example:

Me: Morning Jesse (followed by a hug from me and Jonathan)

Jesse: Don't touch me. (remains standing still and retains a nuetral expression on his face while avoiding eye contact)

Me:.......

See what I mean? But it's more entertaining if anything.

Sometimes mornings can be the best way to really get to know a person!
