Freaky Friday
Usually I would say “thanks God
it’s Friday!” but on this Friday, this overwhelming Friday, everything didn’t
seem to work out. It was really a mess.
Like a calm before a storm, such a normal
morning as usual that I went to my volley ball class. We had a series of
practicing and an intense friendly were taken place. My team at last won and
everyone was so ecstatic that most of us have improved our skills. After the
exciting game I went back to the dormitory for taking a short nap and also get
myself ready for the Chinese mid-term we were to have in the afternoon.
Therefore, I set an alarm to wake me up. However, it must be an evil trick by
some naughty elves out of nowhere that the alarm didn’t warned me about my
falling in deep sleep. That is to say, the next time I opened my eyes was
almost three p.m. I was shocked at the beginning but a second later I jumped
out of my bed. With tears welled up in my eyes, I rushed at my highest speed to
the classroom I should have attended ninety minutes ago. Although my Chinese
teacher was confused about my being so late, she is so kind that I still got
the chance to take the exam.
Nevertheless, I couldn’t stop sobbing
silently at the desk after seeing the test paper without having the answer in
my mind and my brain was as blank as the paper. Because of my extreme
nervousness and serious headache, my memories of the mid-term studying
scattered into messy pieces and it seemed like no complete sentence could form
through my panic brain. The time flew away mercilessly, though I struggled for
an hour and a half, it ended up in vain. I handed over the paper hopelessly and
left the classroom alone. Not until was I almost back to the dormitory that I
finally remembered I had a date with my friends and I’m late for more than one hour.
What’s worse, when I tried to make a phone call to say sorry, for some reasons,
it crashed and couldn’t even power up at all. I was so devastating that I burst
out crying right at the moment I reached the assembly spot.
It was a Friday filled with sorrow
for being so powerless to uncontrolled situations and furthermore, an unexpected
lesson for my carelessness of time management. In conclusion, sure it was not
my day, but if I think on the other angle, it may be a sharp warning that I should
keep an early hour and moreover always get myself ready for daily schedule.
