Challenge Accepted!!!⏰

Beep-beep-beep…  It’s 5:30 and time to wake up!  I roll over, wishing I could sleep for another 2 or 3 hours and wishing I had not decided to wake up at this time.  I have made a goal to wake up earlier on the weekdays.  But you’ve got to understand, I am naturally a late-sleeper, and this is pretty difficult for me!  But I have good reasons for waking up early.  Here are those reasons :

1. More school.  Because I am in Challenge A, my school schedule is different.  I have more difficult subjects and more school work to accomplish.  I really want to be able to finish early, and since I am homeschooled, I have a special opportunity to start and finish school earlier in the day.  Sometimes I go to bed a little bit late or I need some extra sleep and I will set my alarm closer to 6:00, but get ready for the day faster and start as soon as possible on those days.

2. I would rather have a long day.  Waking up early makes my days so much longer!

3.  I have more attention and energy to do school in the morning.  When I wake up and dive into math every morning, I am alert, and I don’t have that horrible “lazy” feeling that gets in the way of being productive.

4. Time for blogging and exercise in the day!  If I finish my school work early, I am able to go for a long bike ride, blog, and play with my siblings.  It’s nice to have some free time in the day, and waking up early gives me time to do that!

I can’t wait to see how it turns out!  Do you have any back-to-school commitments or goals?  Are you an early bird, or are you like me and love your sleep?  I would love to hear from you!
