Eight in the a.m.
Thursday was one of the better first days of class I've had.
Unfortunately, it was followed up with my required 8am Friday lecture this morning.
I haven't taken a course that started before 9am since high school. I don't even think Stanford offered any courses that started before 9am. (At least not in any of the departments I took classes in.)
Eight a.m. It just seems obscene.
