A Crazy Day
Yesterday was a crazy day I was running around from early morning until late at night. My alarm clock went off at 6:00, I jumped out of bed. I got dressed and ran out the door without having breakfast. I couldn’t find a parking place on campus I parked eight blocks away. I ran to class I was late anyway. After my classes, I raced back to my car, I had to go to work at McBuns. At work, the boss told me he needed me to work overtime. For the next nine hours, I fried hamburgers and unloaded delivery trucks. I got home my body ached all over. I was disappointed, it was too late to go swimming. I really needed aswim after such a long day.
