Perceive

A normal day

Rolling out of bed at 5 am and trying to get on with life is on a good day difficult, on a bad day all I want to do is toss that alarm clock right out the window. Getting up I go off to the ensuite and get dressed to go run. That's the only part of the morning I like anyway.
Before I continue ranting, let me introduce myself. Hi I'm Cassandra Black, do never call me Cassie...I will kill you slowly. Sandra is alright.
I'm 26, a dentist, single and looking to get into pediatrics as my specialty for masters.
It's all I'm saying right now because if I continue without context, you might have me committed.
Going back to my day, it's rainy as usual, I mean it is Seattle, obviously it's going to be rainy. I wonder why I go shower after my run, I did both together already. But curse my perfectionism, I wouldn't leave the house without a shower. That is because although I'm Cassandra Black, my mother is very Indian. I'm a Hindu by religion, and she's even more inclined towards me keeping the God's happy. And apparently a hot shower in the morning before work is the best way to do it. I personally do it because ew I just ran but hey whatever keeps her happy.
I had just gotten over the disastrous exam that I had to give to clear and get into my masters program and to help me heal, I decided that a job, would be great.
Today isn't my first day, thanks for asking, it's more like a 3 month old job while I wait on my results.
While I was stewing in my own thoughts in the morning, I completely forgot about being late and by the time I did realise, I was too late.
So I did what I do on most days chewed on my breakfast on my way to work.
My car or as I'd like to call her Ella, has seen almost everything with me. College in Washington, moving to Seattle, just about everything.
As I drove on to Dr.Shu's practice, I was feeling increasingly uneasy like there was a shark waiting for me to make a mistake and that he'd eat me up(not in the fun way) at first chance. An increased sense of paranoia made me wonder exactly what was up with today. I had finished my run perfectly and checked the news for major updates. I had also managed to gather a passable breakfast for someone who was almost 4 minutes behind schedule. And I know what you're thinking, how is 4 minutes a big deal, but trust me rush hour traffic makes you regret every minute you've ever wasted.
Putting all of my thoughts aside, I tried to focus on the road because another ticket would mean bankruptcy for sure.
