        "Messed Up"

    This morning was crazy. My alarm clock was set for 5 PM instead of 5 AM, so I woke up really late. I just brushed my teeth, washed my face, put on some clothes, and ran out the door. Not even took a bath. I rode my motorcycle as fast as I could and thought that I was going to be late for sure. But when I got there,everyone was outside of the class and there were firetrucks all lined up in front of my campus building. I guess somebody pulled the fire alarm before class strated, It worked out though, because nobody really noticed or minded that I was tardy.
