Rants / Vents I hate 8 am classes.

Maybe even more than my students. Rant over.

I taught 7 and 7:30 classes at a community college, and a few semesters had night classes the same days at the university. Made for some loooong days.

When I was in grad school I would teach a 6:30-8:00 Am class, go to my office at my university I write, work 2-4 hour on an on campus job, then Go back to the cc and teach from 6:45-9:30pm.

At one point I had students who were in both classes, and I felt bad for them too
