Before I start telling about my morning- there is something about me that you must know, to fully understand this story...Every morning I set not one, not two, but THREE alarms. Yes, three. And why do I set three alarms you ask? I set the first one about thirty minutes before I HAVE to wake up. The first one is to half wake me out of my slumber, and just in case I am feeling ambitious I have the option to get out of bed and get an early start on my day. (Side note: I have not once- NEVER gotten out of bed when the first alarm goes off- yet I still continue to set it just in case one day I find an extra burst of energy and WANT to get up before the required time.) The second alarm is set about five minutes before the third one. The second one is to let me know that I only have five more minutes in my warm and amazingly comfortable bed. :( Then finally the third alarm is to let me know I have to get up NOW or else I won't make it to class on time.
This morning I had a test at 7:30 a.m. (very early!) So last night I went to bed early (as in 11:45) so I could wake up on time, and not be tired for my test. SO, this morning I hear my first alarm go off. I reached up and turned it off. about fifteen mintues later the second one went off. As I was waiting for the third alarm to go off I fell back asleep- which wouldn't have been a problem, except the third alarm didn't go off! The next thing I knew, Emily was saying "Nicole, isn't it 7:45?" I jumped (literally) out of bed, freaking out, I ran to my closet grabbed a sweatshirt, some pants off the ground, put on some boots, grabbed my backpack and ran out the door. You think I'm exaggerating, but I'm not. Did I brush my hair? No. Did I brush my teeth? No. Did I put on deoderant? No. Did I even put a shirt on underneath my swe atshirt? No. Did I even look in the mirror? No. Anyway, I got to campus at 7:55, which goes to show just how fast I really ran out of my house. I got to class and 8:00, I was praying that my professor would let me take the test- which she did. I personally think she was a little scared of the mess of the person that I was, and thought that if she didn't let me take it, she would be attacked. I only had twenty mintues instead of fifty to take it, but I still finished- and got an 89% to boot. (Not that an 89% is that great, but it's better than the 0% I would have gotten if Emily hadn't awakened me.) Emily is now officially my most favorite beyond favorite roommate!

Just for the record - I witnessed this whole thing. And I couldn't believe how fast you were out that door after you woke up!! Seriously it was like you just popped out of bed with boots on and sprinted towards the shuttle. Congrats on the 89%!
