Having a bad day?

BEEEEEEP BEEEEEEP BEEEEEEP *click

Dangit! I overslept!

The clock reads 7:23 and I have fifteen minutes to get ready for school.

Why did this happen to me today?

I turn on the lights and rush to the kitchen in time to grab some food.

*shake, crunch

Two puny little cornflakes fall out of the cereal box. I groan and stuff a piece of bread in the toaster. That'll have to do.

I notice my mom isn't up yet--I was supposed to ask her to fill out a form for community service or something. Oh well. Looks like she overslept too.

Dangit, dangit, dangit...

I sprint back to my room and throw on a sweatshirt over the tank top I slept in and pull on some jeans. Hair!

I tie it up in a not-so-gorgeous ponytail. Hairbrushes are overrated--wait! I forgot to shower last night!! By now it's way too late to even try.

Suddenly the familiar burning smell I associate with mornings wafts in from the kitchen. Really?

The toast. I forgot about the toast.

Why TODAY?

I extract the charred remains from the toaster and automatically remember I have to make lunch. Unfortunately my PIN number from last year has long since left my memory.

Great, I think. I'll have to beg to my friends for food...

I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I First period algebra.

It can't get much worse than that.

Oh yeah, and there's a test today that I forgot to study for.
