So.. Monday & Wednesday. Wake up at 0445. Get my son ready for school. Get myself ready. Leave by 0630, drop him off at my moms, then drive 50 miles to school in Dallas rush hour traffic... and sit in class from 8A-2P. Tues, Thurs, Friday, same thing with the times, except leave by 0530 to be at work at 0630, then get off at 1830. That's how my week is.

How do you function with 4 hours of sleep?

Wake up at 6 am, drive to class. On campus until 5pm, sometimes until 11 pm for student groups, events, group research, or studying. If I need a nap, I sleep on the sofa in the rooms of the Student Union buildings. Sometimes I work out at the school gym. Weekends, I watch soccer in the mornings.

Bad idea. The only reason my sleep schedule is so terrible at this point is because a lot is going on at the end of the semester. I get like six hours during the regular semester.

A Day in the Life,

Woke up, fell out of bed,
dragged a comb across my head,
found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
and looking up, I noticed I was late,
found my coat and grabbed my hat,
made the bus in seconds flat,
found my way upstairs, and had a smoke,
then somebody spoke and I went into a dream, ... ahh, ah, ah aaaah

Respect. Good luck with everything, I'm sure it will all be worth it in the end!
