'Tm up at 5:15 every morning to shower, do my make-up, pick out what I'm going to wear and iron it. I also have to do any home- work I didn't finish the night before and eat.

On the way to finding it, I'll re- member about a million other things I had forgot- ten,'l said Sherrie Far- quhar, junior. There are some students among us who wake up with exactly enough time to do their daily morning rituals and actually makes it to school on time. They are definitely weird, said John Brannon-sophomore. - Copy by Kim Hampton. ,ii
