Yes, I vividly remember the awful feeling when it was dark, cold, wet and on the way to school half asleep. We too had 2 shifts for school, the first 4 grades were in the morning and then it would alternate every other grade in the morning or evening. I liked when I had school in the second part of the day but in the winter I had a nearly similar experience returning home, at about 6 or 7 it was already dark, cold and snowy. And this schedule would eat out the whole day.
