The 30 Day Meme: Day 6 - My Day (In Gre- ahh hell whatever teenage girl came up with this meme really ought to be shot)

6:00 am (actually 5:54 am, my alarm clock is about 6 minutes fast): Wake up to my alarm.  The snooze bar is verboten as far as I'm concerned.  I want to sleep right up until the alarm goes off... Not set the alarm for 45 minutes before I actually have to wake up so I can hit snooze a few times before I actually get up.  This is something I started in college by strategically placing my alarm clock on the opposite side of the room and sleeping on the top bunk.  By the time I got out of bed and walked across the alarm to turn it off I was wide awake.
