This leads me to a question.

Starting in August I have a class that starts at 10am. I'm not used to driving (okay, lets be serious; or even being awake) that early.. So I have no idea how traffic is on I-495 (towards Bethesda/Rockville) and on I-270N (Towards Frederick) that early.

Ergo... What time would you guys guesstimate I should leave from DC to make it by 10?

I was thinking around 8-8:30am should be enough time... But then again, maybe I'm not factoring in rush hour traffic...?
