craziness

I had the strangest morning today. As usual I slept very late last night, fully aware of the fact that I had a class at 9 today.

My usual strategy is to set the alarm at 8, then hit the snooze a couple of times and eventually get up at 8:30, get ready by 8:45 and it's a 15 minute walk to school just in time to get there at 9. So I set the alarm to 8 and went to bed.

I woke up, without the alarm going off, but I was awake and I just kept tossing and turning in bed. I really was awake, and it was bright outside.

[Then I suddenly realized that I better check the time cuz I might have overslept or the alarm might not have gone off. Now my alarm clock is screwed and I can't actually read the time from it, I can still set it, so I get out of bed and reach my desk to check my watch, I check it, and it's 3 o clock!!! At this point I felt as shitty as anyone can. Imagine missing a class (in which you had to hand in your - yet unfinished - project which was due today). So, it was unimaginably horrible. ]

Then I wake up again, check the time, and it's 20 to 8! My alarm had never gone off and I had simply woken up too early. The entire sequence between the brackets was a dream, or was it? It couldn't have felt any more real. Very strange indeed.

By the way, the alarm did go off at 8, I hit the snooze a few too many times til 8:30 but then I fall sleep again and wake up to see it's 9:10 !!!! I still managed to get to class at 9:25 (took a cab!) so it wasn't too bad!
