Early birds

Just a question to wonder about... anyway, I normally wake up about 5,30 or 6,00am and get myself a coffee or watch a little TV (though I still not very good in German... lol) what about those that are already in Forum right now?

Wake up around seven, turn on MTV and play computer. Cos my deutsch lang still awful also

oh... MTV... I prefer ballads... so that doesn´t work for me... play computer? meaning games? I do that sometimes too.. might too boring just sitting there... or I watch some video on youtube, stage6

Drink coffee and start on my top ten list of websites and the three S's.

Ditto.
And read the International Herald Tribune.

Play computer: games, internet or shopping online hehe...
Women (or is it only me?), shopping minded when have not much to do

I wake up at 7.30 at the moment. I wake up only like 20 mins before I leave so I brush my teeth, my wash my face, etc. then get dressed, and check my e-mail. I have mastered this to perfection. I can even do it in 15 mins if I need to. (And I even have time to post this on TT )
But no more waking up that early after tomorrow, yeah!

why not after tomorrow?

I only need 4-5 hours of sleep per day, so i usually turn on the computer at around 4am and watch the baseball games in the USA.Read a few online newspapers and check all the new antique additions on Ebay.

I get up every week day at 5:30, get showered, dressed and go to work!

I'm actually getting ready to go home, seeing it's 4.30pm in Melbourne. I'd trade that for another full day at work to be in Germany though

Because I'm moving so I have to quit my job. I will work tomorrow & Saturday (but Saturday I start at 10) and then I also work Wednesday (early), but that's it.

When I wake up early, I usually turn over and go back to sleep
...unless I've woken up with dogs licking my nose, in which case they get a walk and then I grab a coffee and go online. Hmm...actually, I like those early morning walks when the birds are just starting to sing and nobody else is around.

I wouldn't consider it early... but wake up, make coffee, make some breakfast, drink coffee...
sit on the couch, watch tv... sometimes MTV cuz my deutsch is also shit... but mostly Kings of Queens. I never knew this show even existed back in the US. Oh, or sometime Dharma and Greg. This is usually around noon tho.

CNBC Europe. Just make sure it's after 4:59, or else you'll get major unwanted "ummm ... von hinten" softcore porn ads.

If you're really unlucky, it'll be completely unwanted "dicke dinger" action!

Scratch my balls, put breakfast tv on and then wander off to the bathroom once awake.

From Mondays to Fridays - Wake up at 8:50, take a shower, blow dry my hair, check the weather for the day, choose something to wear, grab some food and eat it on the way to the train station.

You being a woman girl, does that mean you leave the house around 1pm??

Y'know, reading this I see how many of you coquette around with your crap German (and it is not an easy language to learn) and say, That's why I turn on English TV. You might try turning on ARD or ZDF Frühstücksfernsehen and letting it run as background noise while catching up on TT or checking your e-mails. It is surprising how much you can pick up just by listening. Then switch to English TV, which will be treating similar topics, and see how much you understood.

I was part of the 'early bird' crowd this morning. Stupd cat would not let me sleep! She wanted food or to go out or something, I don't know. So, got up before 6 am (yes, this is early for me), took a shower, packed the gym bag and went off to work. Was here by 7. I was the first person in the office. This early morning thing...it's really for the birds.

Wake up at 6h30, watch the birds at the feeder outside the window, have coffee in bed, get out of bed at 7h00 for a shower, open the front door to greet the dogs, munch some muesli, open the gate for the other half to leave for work, walk the dogs, watch water birds at the dam, get back home to check emails and start work at about 8h00.

Copycat! ...except that I walk the dog as well.

I awoke at 7:30 and watched the end of the Bosox vs. Seattle game on www.mlb.com . Sox lost .
_{Westcoast game: 9 hours difference.}

6.22 Wake before alarm. Doze.
6.30 Alarm clock rings, It thinks its so clever! Doze some more.
6.32 Fart.
6.36 Stagger into bathroom. I live with 3 English girls so have to beat them to it. They spend so long in there!
6.55 Grab random bits of clothes.
6.58 Press start button on Saeco espresso machine.
7.00 Watch Sky news with espresso (I used to call it eXpresso for so many years!)
7.30 Still watching UK weather and M25 traffic report with one sock on, and mouth open.
7.40 Other sock done and second espresso taking effect.
7.45 Put on bike helmet and get on bike.
7.45 Neighbours staring at me. Realise trousers still on bedroom floor.

i wake up around 2 or 3pm...that's about as early as it gets for me
being a professional lazyass is pretty good!


then i wander over to the kitchen and feed myself...then i fart around on the computer for a few hours...

That is why I don't live in Berlin.

Today it is work 100% otherwise I wouldn't be up this early.

Wake up. Check (I really hated that part).
Shower. Check
Shit. no time (just fart instead)
Shave. no time
Get dressed. Check
Drive to work. Check (Guard at gate wonders why the hell I am here so early)
Drink first cup of coffee. Check.
Waiting for second cup. Check.
Drag my ass into the lab and get started on 10-12 hours of tests. Not before the second cup...

I'm up at 0500 and I do yoga for 1/2 hour. Then I do some kind of cardio exercise for 45 minutes and three times a week I add weight training. I prefer to do the exercises at the start of day as I'm more consistent in doing it in the morning. Then while I'm eating breakfast I read TT or emails.

Read e-mails and internet. Get dressed. Go to work early.

i put on music. now im going to go to work.

weekday :- fall out of bed ,fall into car, point car in direction of work ,open one eye, drive.
weekend:- breakfast with the missus on balcony till midday

Get up at 6..ish
Practice the piano for an hour or so - very important to me. I love classical music and I'm currently working on Chopin's Nocturne Op 48 No 1, which is way above my current level.
The rest of the time is occupied with bathroom matters, getting dressed, having breakfast and leaving for work (which I hate) at 08:20.

Do you have any neighbours?

I have a digital piano and I use headphones during 'sensitive' times of the day

Ah, that's reassuring!

I get up at 05:45 turn the alarm off, then go back to sleep and get up again at 06:10 turn the second alarm off, then I get up at 06:15, and start rushing cuss I will be late for work.

most of the time I am watching BBC news in the morning

Well, for me, i got a routine happening - like others as usual.

8:00 - wake up from 3 alarm clocks - mobile phone with Cant Touch This (MC HAMMER), Fire Alarm sounding clock... and the grand father clock lol!
8:08~ - Finally get my a$$ out of bed and do a quick change over from boxers to work uniform
8:12~ - Get myself into the bathroom and brush my teeth and spend about 10 minutes on my hair...i hate it lol!
8:24~ - Walk into the lounge and turn on channel 7 Sunrise News
