My alarm goes off with a shriek. It sounds like the horn of a juggernaut. Blaring. Unceasing. Crippling my thoughts and assaulting my ears. I just hate alarms especially when I haven’t slept well at night or when i'm too sleepy to wake up. I reach for it on the nightstand sleepily and smash the snooze button silencing it. Pheew! Finally the nagging is over. I’m still sleepy. I slept late last night and was so tired so I need more sleep. I contemplate on missing the first class or all them but knowing my parents with the 'we are paying the school fees and blah blah blah nonsense' I can’t skive school. Maybe the first class only. That is if they will allow it at all. They have always been strict in everything. Maybe I should pretend I’m sick but who am I kidding? They won’t believe me.
