You Snooze, You Lose Pt. 2

Once again, I decided that I would try the whole snooze button again....I will, after all, try (most) things twice. I set my alarm for 8:20...giving me 10 minutes to sleep before I had to get up to start my normal routine in the morning in order to be in class by 10. At 8:20 my alarm went off, I turned it off and laid back down. By 8:22 I was wide awake, just laying there watching the minutes tick by on my clock. 8:27 rolls around and I jump out of bed, a thought just occurring to me....Today is Thursday NOT Friday!!! I have class at 9:30 NOT 10. Shoot. I start running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I absolutely cannot be late because I have a quiz in my class, and my teacher told us he had no sympathy for people that slept in...I would be in that category, thank you very much.

I run to the bathroom, throw my hair up in a pathetic pony and throw on a headband because I have absolutely no time to wash my hair. I am out of the shower in less than 5 minutes. But I forgot my towel in my bedroom. Dang. Good thing all my roommates were off to school at that point. I start putting on makeup, paying no attention to the fact that my nose and cheeks are peeling from the football game on Saturday (59-0...GO COUGARS!). I run a brush and straightener through my hair. Eat breakfast. Check my work schedule because I can't for the life of me remember what time I was supposed to work today. Make a fast lunch. Brush my teeth. Go to my room to put some clothes on, pick out an outfit. Realize that I don't like my light khakis with the shirt I have on, so in a moment of pure genius, I decide to wear my dark khakis that need to be ironed, rather than change my shirt. I throw my stuff in my back pack and book it Caitlin-style up to campus.

Finally in the SWKT, I look for the nearest available seat, which is not near to the door at all. Instead, I have to make my way through rows and rows of people, I trip, I hit people in the head with my bag, and finally am able to sit down and take a breath. I think I started to have an asthma attack, too....I don't have asthma, but I certainly could not breathe. And then I started to cough. I also had sweat dripping off every part of my body. I felt like I weighed over 300 lbs....Oh boy. I took my quiz. I failed my quiz, because I didn't have time to go over my notes before I caught my breath and before the quiz was handed out. Oh well.

Lastly, I got to work and realized that the pair of shoes that I had put in bag for work, were not a pair. No, they did not match. So, if you came into my work today and saw that I was wearing flip flops, and you were offended. You can get over it!

P.S. Although, it was not the snooze button that messed me up this morning, and made my day a little off...I think that I am still going to blame the snooze button....Just because I feel like it

P.P.S. If this post comes across that I am in a bad mood. I am not. I am actually having a "Meets Expectations" day. Nothing great happened, and nothing that bad. I am getting TONS of homework done at work...Ah, how I love getting paid to do nothing but homework. Makes me feel a little lazy, but there really is nothing for me to do at work right now. Its great.
