"Get up! Don't you have class?" Opening my eyes, I dart them from my roommate standing above me to my alarm clock. I see the numbers come into focus: 10:05. Shit! I'm already five minutes late and I have a test today! How did this happen? I remember hearing my alarm clock but I guess I had hit the snooze button and gone back to sleep. I jump out of my bed, throw some pants on, lace up my sneakers, and run out of the door. "Are you going to say thank-you?" my roommate yells after me. I run as fast as I can down the steps of North Hall and out into the bright sun. I rub my eyes after the initial shock of the brightness and continue running toward McAllister. While running I see one of my classmates walking at a slow pace towards the building. I slow down my running and say "Are you late too?" She gives me a funny look, "What?" "The test today, I'm late for class!" She replies nonchalantly: "Class isn't until 11."
Yeah I kicked off the day with a bang. Running like a madman and then finding out that I'm miscalculated by an hour. Luckily I didn't get all the way to McAllister and then run into the room and have the class before me look at me like I'm nuts. But I guess maybe I looked like I was nuts just running... Today has been a pretty productive day otherwise. I've been e-mailing, reading, writing, and working out. All I need now is a job. :( Well I guess I better be heading out of here. Time to get more work done.
