Today was a Remarkable Day

I'm not usually into using the work 'remarkable.' I think it's pretty lame. But let me tell you why my day has been (so far) remarkable.

3 am - wide awake with an attack of the itchies
4:30 am - still awake, decide to shower to pass the time and wash away the itchiness
5:15 am - lay down, start praying for everyone I can imagine
7:30 am - alarm goes off, I turn it off thinking to myself, "I already took a shower today, I can lay here for 5 more minutes."
8:22 am - sit up in bed, look at my alarm clock, and start to panic. Reason for panic is that I'm supposed to be at the bus stop in 7 minutes, and it is at least 7 minutes from our house
9:30 am - computer class with an instructor who is, let's face it, a T.A. who doesn't want to be there. I believe this proceeded from his mouth, "I'm really not a morning person, so this is not that great." Thanks for sharing. Remind me to put that in the subject line of my late assignment - I'm not exactly a morning person, so I knew you'd understand and let this slide.
1:07 pm - swim to the bus stop on campus, soaked jeans up to my knees, soaked notes and important papers in my bag, also wearing a white t-shirt with a scary Native American face on it (Go Missessinewa!) that continues to transform into transparency as I miss the 1:05 pm bus and have to wait for 20 more minutes in the torrential downpour.
1:34 pm - bus driver declares over the crackling speaker that we have to "stop at the bus station to GET ANOTHER BUS," but not to worry because we'll be on our way "as soon as possible."
1:38 pm - transfer at the bus station through the rain from one bus to another, which happens to have touchy brakes, as indicated by the bruises on my left shoulder
1:43 pm - exit said bus 1/4 of a mile from my house and trek through the horizontal rain (somethings do not change anywhere in Indiana), with my drooping, sopping jeans, my sloshing shoes, and my soaked notes.

Oh, what a day! What a remarkable day.

I'm pretty impressed by your second day of school. Is any good luck on the horizon?
