quiz.

As many of you have probably already realized I am not naturally inclined to wake up early. Every weekday I have class at 9 am or earlier and in order to wake up I set the alarm on my phone and my computer in addition to a real alarm clock I put on the other side of the room to really get me up and out of bed. Most mornings I also get a concerned series of calls from my father whose experience waking me up as I was growing up gave him a better idea of just how deep of a sleeper I am. I have been told that I can be pretty tricky in my half conscious state between real wakefulness and that ridiculously sound sleep I can get in to by the people who have tried to wake me up in the past too. I can have entire conversations with people in that in between state, assuring them that I am indeed awake, that I don't recall at all minutes later when I've actually become fully conscious.  Last summer I was interested in this phenomenon and created a system where I rigged my macbook to take a picture of me with its built in camera when the alarm sounds. Unfortunately the files got deleted so photos to come for that. Taking the picture gave purpose to the one part of my day I don't remember.
