mmm, seven weeks in, and only NOW you ask me what the time difference is.  i’m three hours ahead, which means i’m in class at 6am, while the rest of you are comfortably in class at 9am (or even 3pm for NY), soooooo don’t be upset if i’m quiet for the majority of class.  this is a ridiculous time to be awake for school.  YOU know that.  gahhh.  i don’t wanna do this.  this is horrible.
