It really should be illegal to get up this early. The time is 5:45 am, why even? I'll look into the mirror while I brush my hair. I have a seminar at the University I have to be on. And worst of all it's that it starting at 7:30 am. It's way too early and too much people at the same time. But with that idea in my head I just know that the train will be packed with students, it means that I have to take the car today. I pull a strand of my hair behind my ear before I start looking for my always hidden bag. Maybe it's time that I'm looking for my own apartment in Stockholm instead then I will not have to go up this time of the morning. It's too early for me. I take my notebook, makeup bag and a pair of headphones if it should turn out that the seminar would be too boring. I mean a full day of listening to entrepreneurship. I'm probably the last person on this earth who would choose to be an entrepreneur, because it is too demanding. I like the idea of sleeping on the weekends, or just sleep the whole days..
My handbag is now finally packed. I carry it down to the lower floor. Oops, I look at my watch and it's already 6:15 am maybe I should keep going, it is after all an hour's drive. My parents are awake, they sit around the kitchen table reading the newspaper. Like always. The idea of moving away from home sounds very appealing especially right now. I don't want to talk with my parents, and especially not in the morning, they can be really annoying. I know I'm 22 years old but the idea of having high studies loans made my father sick. So, he decided that I could still living at home for a while at least.
- "Up Already?", I hear my mother say. I walk towards the kitchen table and let my giant bag fall on the floor.
- "Yes, I was thinking of taking the car today" I reply and I stand next to the kitchen table. My mother looks up at me.
- "Well, you should be careful out on the roads sweetie" my mother says, overprotective but I shake my head.
-"I'm always careful" and I know I'm not in the mood to start discussing my driving skills this early in the morning and especially not with my mother. My dad looks up, he noticed now that I was down at the kitchen, my dad puts the newspaper down and looking at me.
-"You should be eating something." my dad says. Clearly my sigh is heard and my mom looks immediately on me.
-"Take a banana with you" she says. I go to the fridge to take with me a banana and a vitamin drink and I put it in the bag, which I then lift up. This is so annoying.
- "Well, see you later, bye" I shout from the hall when I was just going to open the door, I hear "Be careful Gabriella!" My mother says. Of course I'm careful, I always am. I walk to my little blue and very old car.

It's very calm in the traffic today, strangely enough. All the way up to the University, I have just been driving, no one in the way and good enough no accident. I think my mom may end up stop doubting on my driving skills, I'm a great driver. I drive to the university's parking lot. I step out of the car with my bag over my shoulder. My phone is ringing. Who are you calling me at 7:15 am? Ah.
- "Gabriella, where are you??" I hear a voice screaming through the phone. It takes me a while to find out who it is but it can not be less than one of my closest friends Felicia. She's studying at the same university as I though she is studying economics. Boring, yes I know.
- "Good morning love, I'm just outside" I reply with a calm voice, it's after all a early morning. I hear Felicia tries to take a deep breath to calm herself down, it's not good for her or the surrounding area to start screaming in the morning.
- "Well, hurry up Gabbie! I've saved a seat for you! "
- " I'm on my way! Bye! " I answer and hang up.
I try to walk fast steps to the main hall. Too many people everywhere. Oh, it's must be my lucky morning the first seminar haven't started yet because I see several students running to the main door. I walk into the big lecture hall and I see Felicia standing up and tries to find me and she finally sees me, I see her hands in the air and a very big smile on her beautiful face, I can't help myself but to smile back to her. She sits in the middle of the seminar hall, we've got two decent seats. I walk to her and sit down at the empty seat.
- "Hey," I say when I finally can take a breather.
- "Hey, I didn't see you on the train this morning! I was worried! "Says Felicia and looks at me. While I pick up a notepad and a pen, I answer,
- "I took the car, sorry".
- "Well, you're here now anyway! " Felicia responds and gives me a smile. I smile back and look around the seminar hall. It really is full of people. I jump when the heavy door closes. All the principals of the university walks in and start talking about the meaning of this day seminar. I'm totally uninterested, I start drawing on my notebook. I hear one of the principals for the economy say,
- "It's great to see that so many people are here. This day is important for everyone and because they are important, I recommend you to take notes. "He takes a break and look around the seminar hall and continues, "Let's start with the professor Stefan Lind in international business, "he says, and everyone starts clapping and I look around at everyone. It feels like everyone in this room is deep involved in this, I must be from another planet or something, I pretend I take notes and look interested, though I draw something ugly in my notebook.
After an hour with this boring middle-aged man talking. I don't know what it is with me right now but I'm not in the mood. I bend down to look for my headphones in my bag. If this will keep on like this I might as well listen to some good music. I hear the principle of the economy starts to talk again, "Yes, and then we have our next seminar before we take a break" and I still can't find my headphones. I hear the whole room takes a deep breath and I'll just even give up from my search for my headphones when Felicia's leg hits me and I get it of the side of my head. I get up and when I open my eyes, it's like I wake up. Oh my goodness. Who is he?
