第一周  Episode 1  getting up

The worst part of the day for me is definitely when I have to get up.

Waking up, that I can handle.But getting up?That, I hate.

The covers I haveon my bed are heavy, mostly because I have acomforter aswell as a light blanket.

I sleepwith two pillows, which for some reason have different color pillowcases.

Well, at least the sheets match. I sometimes wake up before the alarm goes off.

I like to keep thealarm at a low volume, with some classical music, nothing too jarring.

My old roommate usedto like the terrible buzzer that you find on most alarm clocks nowadays,

which always used to drive me nuts. As I was saying,

I sometimes wake up before the alarm, usuallybecause of some noise outside the house—a car door slamming, an alarm going off, gunfire—well, okay, not gunfire, but man, is my neighborhood noisy!

Of course, when I’m stayingin a hotel,

it’s usually easier to just get awake up call from the hotel than set thealarm.

I’m not really anearly riser,so I don’t jump out of bed ready to takeon the world.

I get up very slowly, usually one foot on the floor at a time.

Every once ina while ,I’ll oversleep,

but not too often.I really love the weekends, when I can sleep in.
