Update: As it just so turns out, I'm pretty good at Wii sports, despite only having insignificant experience with Wii's in general. I'm especially good at Wii bowling, a pretty popular game it would seem. True story: second game I've ever played, I got EIGHT strikes in a row, and my opponents QUITS and neglects me the right to have my score recorded. LAME!
Also, fairly good at wii baseball. Baseball is fun, until we figured out we can throw splitters down at the plate, then it became a game of "Is he gonna throw it at the plate or not?" which is stupendously difficult because it's very hard to judge proper speed or distance on the screen. When the ball is at the plate, it could very well look like it's still in your hitting box.
Everyone's getting up at basically the same time anyway, so a noisy alarm isn't that bad by itself.
Also, you guys should know that I'm a VERY heavy sleeper. A blaring alarm has failed to wake me up for hours at a time... repeatedly. It's not my fault, it's like my ears just get used to the repetitive beeping, and it works it's way into my dreams.
Are you a coffee drinker? You could get one of those timed coffee makers, maybe the smell would do what sound can't.
I can BECOME a coffee drinker. Although, not having a car, and the college itself being in the middle of nowhere, I'll have to try to get a ride to a walmart or something. (I feel guilty about buying from them though).
Also, I'm also a very restless sleeper, and a little vibrating cellphone may very well be NOT by my head when the time comess that I need to wake up.
