I just missed the third lecture in a row on the course I’m currently taking because, for some reason, they’ve seen fit to schedule all the lectures at 9am. Now, I live one hour’s subway ride (plus a ten minute brisk walk) ... http://lifebeforedeath.blogsome.com/2008/09/05/chronotype-discrimination/ Scarab is the name I’ve given my very newly acquired laptop.
