I wake at four in the morning with a risk of adrenaline. I sit in my bed wondering what my body had remembered/sensed while I was resting. I shuffle through my mind until I remember I hadn't done yesterday's homework, and rush to my school bag. Quickly grabbing my assignments and putting them on my desk. I turn on the desk lamp to luminate the papers.

I heave a sigh, then delve into my work. It takes me a good portion of an hour to complete them, but I did. I sit back in my chair rubbing my face to help wake me up. Going from a good rest to, freaking out over assignments, then feeling stressed over whether or not the rushed product will get me a decent grade, has made me more tired than if I had stayed up all night doing the assignments.

Sitting there for a moment to collect myself, I think over what I need to do today. 'Ok, first go make breakfast for me and mom (probably just scrambled eggs and sausage), go to school, pay attention and take as many notes as I possibly can (at said school), clean the classroom (I should actually clean my room and put away all the clothes in the void soon), come back home and get ready for work, go to work (maybe I should ask to keep the store open later so I can get some extra hours), come home, either make dinner or eat it (depends on whether mom or I get home first), do whatever homework I get today, then finally sleep. Then cycle will begin again tomorrow.'

I sigh thinking how I won't get much sleep, and I'm already exhausted. 'Ok, it's go time,' thinking that I get out of my chair and put my homework in my school bag. Grabbing the bag I head down stairs slinging it on the dinning table as I pass it. Walking into the kitchen I went straight to the fridge to get eggs and sausage. Quickly making eggs and sausage, then heading up to get my mom.

Standing in her rooms doorway I say, "Hey, sleeping beauty time to wake up! There are eggs and sausage waiting for you down stairs! I gotta start getting ready to head to school so see you tonight!" She turns to face me and nods saying "Bye and see you later." After she starts to crawl out of bed I leave.

Rushing to my room I quickly shove my clean uniform on silently thanking my mom for throwing it in the wash and hanging it in my closet. Shoveing my phone, student I.D., and wallet in my pockets as I start to leave my room. I speed-walk down the stairs and to the dinning ta le to grab my bag. Slining it over my shoulder I see my mom sitting at the table and quickly round it to give her a quick hug and peck on the forehead. Then, I rush out the door.

I walk down the apartment stairwell and through its parking lot. Once I reach the sidewalk I turn right following its path. Following my route to the school I see Mr. Speedy exiting a house on the opposite side of the street. He waves to me and once he reaches a crosswalk that connects our paths he comes over. "Hello, how have you been this morning," he asks with a smile. I take a deep breath before replying with, "My morning has been quite well. How has yours been treating you?" "Ah, it has been swell indeed. Nothing I could complain about, same as always," he answered. "Good," I said to try to keep the conversation afloat. He did not respond, so I am to assume the conversation has died.
