"Last Monday I decided to wake up super early to study for class."

       Early for a 20 year old is noon, and super early is 6:30 am.  I was determined to finish the novel, Beloved, for my english class.  After hitting snooze for the 5th time, my dad yelled at me to wake up.  I asked him what was so important at 6:30 in the morning, and he said we had to go to breakfast.  He did not want to go alone and forced me to drop off my little sister and accompany him to breakfast.  

      I tried to explain that I needed to study, but he said I was already up so I needed to go.  Breakfast took over an hour, so I was running out of time to study.  I read my book for the next two hours, pages away from the end, when I realized I was running late for class.  I was in such a hurry I forgot my change of clothes for work, but did remember my book.  I drove as fast as I could to school, and tried to read and walk while walking to class.  Even though I missed a step on the staircase and almost fell, and ran into two people,  I finished my novel!  I opened the door to my class, excited that I would be prepared for class discussion, when I saw the "Class is Canceled" sign.

"Next time I will know the first thing to do when waking up early is to see if the professor sent out an email."
